NORTH ATTLEBORO, MA. – The Northeast 10 Conference (NE10) released its 2026 Baseball Preseason Coaches' Poll on Wednesday afternoon, with Pace University Baseball selected to finish fourth in the league standings ahead of the upcoming spring season.

Pace collected 60 points in the poll and earned one first-place vote, positioning the Setters among the conference's top contenders entering the 2026 campaign.
Bentley was tabbed as the preseason favorite with 75 points and five first-place votes, followed closely by Southern New Hampshire (74 points, three first-place votes) and Franklin Pierce (66 points, one first-place vote).

The Setters enter the 2026 season riding momentum from a historic 2025 campaign, which saw Pace capture the Northeast 10 Conference Championship and earn an appearance in the NCAA Tournament, representing the East Region.

With championship experience and postseason expectations firmly in place, Pace looks to build on that success and once again compete for conference and regional prominence this spring.
