The GLIAC lacrosse coaches have slated Grand Valley State University as the top team in the conference this season in the 2014 GLIAC Lacrosse Preseason poll.

The league’s head coaches took part in the balloting but were not allowed to vote for their own team.

GVSU received all eight first-place votes (64 points) after it posted an 8-0 record in 2013, when the Lakers won the conference’s first-ever regular season and tournament championships.

Tiffin University finished second (51 points) in the poll, while Lake Erie College (50 points) placed third in the nine-team conference.
