Athlon Eastern Edition picks UMass 1st in A10 North

Athlon Sports Magazine has picked UMass 1st in the North Division of the A10. The article is written by Mike Barber.

Athlon picks this way:

North Division

1. UMass
2. New Hampshire
3. Hofstra
4. Maine
5. Northeastern
6. Rhode Island

South Division

1. James Madison
2. Delaware
3. Villanova
4. Richmond
5. William & Mary
6. Towson

My picks would mostly revise the lower regions of both divisions. Northeastern's killer schedule of Georgia Southern, @ Youngstown State, @ Villanova, @UMass @ UNH and @Northwestern State will drop them into last place in the North Division

In the South Division, William & Mary's 17 returning starters will boost them into third place behind James Madison and Delaware. Richmond should be 5th and Townson should bring up the rear.
