RINDGE, N.H. (8/15/25) - The Northeast 10 Conference announced its 2025 Volleyball Coaches' Poll on Friday, with the Franklin Pierce Ravens picked 10th in the preseason rankings.  

Franklin Pierce enters a new chapter this fall as Daniela Stake takes over as head coach for her first season with the program. Stake, who brings a fresh perspective and an enthusiastic approach to the sidelines, will look to blend returning experience with a group of newcomers to create a competitive squad in the NE10. 

Bentley claimed the top spot in the poll with 81 points and nine first-place votes, followed by Adelphi and American International, who tied for second with 69 points each. 

The Ravens will kick off the 2025 season at the Windjammer Classic, hosted by Saint Michael's College, opening play against the University of Nebraska Kearney on September 5.
