"Another team that could be poised to make a rush for the NEC championship is the Duquesne Dukes, coached by seventh-year head coach Jerry Schmitt.
Though they will be working with a new offensive coordinator (Gary Dunn, from Morehead State), they also boast the return of their top passer (quarterback Sean Patterson, 2,050 yards passing, 20 TDs), and rusher (running back Larry McCoy, 1,291 yards rushing, 6 TDs). Though tight end Sean Bunevich says good-bye to the Dukes, the return of their entire starting offensive line seems to point to a productive 2011.
If the Dukes can replace a host of seniors in their defensive backfield, they will be serious contenders for the NEC title, with returning players like defensive end Alex Inda (55 tackles, 3 sacks, 1 fumble recovery) and linebacker Serge Kona (64 tackles, 3 forced fumbles). The return of linebacker Chidozie Oparanozie, after missing the 2009 and 2010 season, also adds depth to the Dukes' already-potent front seven."

1. Central Connecticut State
2. Albany Great Danes
3. Duquesne Dukes
4. Robert Morris Colonials
5. Bryant Bulldogs
6. Monmouth Hawks
7. Wagner Seahawks
8. Sacred Heart Pioneers
