PSU sixth in preseason poll

PLYMOUTH – The Plymouth State University football team was picked to finish sixth in the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) by the league’s head coaches, as the conference announced the results of its annual Preseason Coaches’ Poll Tuesday afternoon.

The Panthers earned 34 points to finish one point behind Mass. Maritime in the sixth spot. Framingham State, winner of the league each of the last three years, collected five first-place votes to finish with 61 points, just ahead of UMass-Dartmouth (59 points, four first place votes).

Paul Castonia, who enters his 20th season as PSU’s head coach, has led the team to five straight seasons of .500 or better after going an even 5-5 last fall. PSU rallied from an 0-4 start to win five consecutive games by a combined score of 138-41, while two of the team’s setbacks were by three points.

Plymouth State kicks off the season at home on Sept. 3 against Castleton University. The Panthers open MASCAC play when Bridgewater State comes to Panther Field on Sept. 17.
