Duke received all 14 first-place votes and checks in as the unanimous No. 1 in the 2021 USILA Division I Coaches Preseason Poll.
The polls, released Wednesday afternoon, saw Le Moyne grab the No. 1 spot in Division II and Salisbury earn the No. 1 nod in Division III.
While it remains unclear just what seasons will look like in Divisions II and III, the Division I season is under way. Duke opens its season Friday afternoon against Denver and follows on Sunday with a contest against Robert Morris.
