Two-time AMCC champion Penn State Behrend has been picked to win their third title in the 2010 AMCC coaches' poll.  They will be challenged by Pitt-Bradford, ranked second, and Medaille College, who was chosen to finish third.

The AMCC kicks off conference play on Saturday, September 25, and the championship will be Saturday, November 6, hosted by the number #1 seed.  The winner will receive the AMCC's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
