ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. --- Elizabethtown College has been picked to finish first in the Commonwealth Conference men's basketball preseason coaches poll, earning five of eight first-place votes in balloting by the league's eight head coaches.
The Blue Jays finished 14-12 overall and in third place in the Commonwealth Conference with a 7-5 record in 2008-09, and advanced to the conference championship game before being edged 67-65 by top-seeded Widener University in the finals.
Blue Jay head coach Bob Schlosser enters his 20th season needing seven wins to reach 300 for his career, and welcomes back four starters from last year's team, including a pair of All-Commonwealth All-Conference selections. Senior center Mike Church was a first-team All-Commonwealth pick (12.8 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 39 blocks) while junior swingman Joe Flanagan (14.3 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 53 three-pointers) earned second-team honors.
Junior guard Keith Fogel (12.7 ppg, 42 three-pointers) and senior forward Josh Houseal (6.2 ppg, 4.7 rpg) also return to the starting lineup and are joined by sophomore point guard Kyle McConnell (4.1 ppg, 2.1 apg).
Widener captured two first-place votes and 52 points to rank second in the coaches poll, with Lebanon Valley College taking the other first-place vote and 39 points. Albright College (37 points), Lycoming College (36 points), Messiah College (28 points), Alvernia University (24 points) and Arcadia University (17 points) round out the rankings.
The Blue Jays open their 2009-10 season on Sunday afternoon, hosting Manhattanville College at 3:00 p.m. in Thompson Gymnasium.
