Eastern Washington topped the poll with 3,377 points and 90-first place votes followed by Appalachian State, William & Mary, Georgia Southern and Delaware.

Lehigh, which will host Yale on Oct. 1, is ranked 13th.

PRACTICE TO START ON FRIDAY
Yale players will report for the start of practice on Thursday and the first practice will be on Friday from approximately from 2-4 p.m. at Clint Frank Field.

The team will practice in the afternoon until classes start on Aug. 31 when practices shift to 7:30 a.m.-9:30 a.m.

UNION WON'T BE PRESEASON OPPONENT
Updating a previous entry, there is a conflict with Union College so Yale is in the process of securing another opponent for its preseason scrimmage. The plan is to have a varisty scrimmage on Sep. 3 and a JV scrimmage against Hamilton College on Sep. 11.
