If the first Division II men’s United Soccer Coaches poll is any indication, then LIU Post and Adelphi University should enjoy memorable seasons this fall.

The Pioneers (18-1-2) were ranked seventh in the national in the preseason poll, which was announced Tuesday.

The Panthers (14-3-2) were 13th.

Both teams have new head coaches this year.

Michael Mordocco will direct Post, while Gary Book will guide Adelphi.
