VUU was selected tops in the Northern Division, with VSU second. Defending champ Fayetteville is first in the Southern Division and first overall.
On the women’s side, Virginia Union is picked seventh and Virginia State 10th out of the 12 schools. Lincoln is picked first overall.
Ny Langley and Taniah Johnson were VUU’s first team picks.
