I'm sure I'm forgetting how recent it has been, but I can't seem to recall at this time ---- Shepherd not being ranked in a preseason poll. Looking at the team on paper, they are pretty solid so I'm 'assuming' that the move to the PSAC and scheduling Ohio Dominican early on has played a part in being left off this year. From top to bottom, this is a much tougher conference but I really thought they'd get a few votes since they've played the teams in this conference and region 1 pretty tough in the past. Hopefully, they can use the excitement of moving to the conference with the 'something' to prove to their advantage. But, as mentioned above - would rather start off the list and finish the year on it.

More likely the intern assembling the 'rankings' just forgot about them.
