BRIDGEWATER, N.J. — The men's tennis team earned the fifth spot in the NEC preseason poll, the conference announced on Wednesday. 

Last season, the Seahawks landed in the seventh spot in the seven-team preseason poll, and entered the NEC tournament as the lowest seed. They went on to upset second-seeded Le Moyne in the first round 4-3, before falling 4-1 in the semifinals to LIU.

This season, Wagner returns two of its four 2025 All-NEC recipients. Graduate student Gabriele Zugarelli earned a spot on the All-NEC doubles second team, while sophomore Eddie Schmidt earned an All-NEC Rookie team nod.

The poll is listed below.

3. Le Moyne
4. LIU
5. WAGNER
6. Mercyhurst
