NORTH ATTLEBORO, Mass. – The Saint Anselm College football team was selected second in the Northeast 10 (NE10) Coaches' Poll, the conference announced Monday afternoon. This is the highest placement in the preseason poll in program history.

The Hawks garnered 40 points along with two first place votes, sitting just behind Bentley, whose 43 points and four first place votes topped the poll.

Led by head coach Joe Adam, who enters his ninth season at the helm in 2025, the team returns four of its nine All-Conference selections from a year ago, including tackle Kevin Coulther who earned a First Team Offense nod one season ago.

The Hawks will begin their 2025 slate with a road matchup against Pace scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 30 with a 5:00 p.m. kickoff.
