New Haven, Conn. (2/7/20) Two-time reigning champ Concordia College earned the first-place spot in the 2020 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Men's Tennis Preseason Coaches Poll, as announced on Friday by Commissioner Dan Mara. The Clippers earned 25 points and five-of-six first-place votes, as the voting was conducted by the league's six head coaches in the sport.

Chestnut Hill College, which advanced to last year's CACC final, was second in the poll with 19 points and the other first-place nod, while Thomas Jefferson University rounded out the upper half of the preseason slate with 16 points.
