Washington, D.C. - The Atlantic 10 Conference released the preseason poll and all-conference team ahead of the 2025 field hockey season on Tuesday.

Sophomore Roos Pasveer became the first Explorer to be named to a preseason all-conference team since Tatum Johnson in 2023. Pasveer scored three goals last season, including a game-winner against A-10 foe Saint Louis.

La Salle received 18 points in the preseason poll, slating them just below Lock Haven in sixth place. Saint Joseph's remains atop the poll following their historic season that saw them fall to preseason #1 Northwestern in the National Championship.
