Junior midfielder Kevin Leveille (Delmar, N.Y.), senior midfielder Don Little (Clifton Park, N.Y.), senior defender Matt McFarland (Garden City, N.J.) and senior attackman Marc Morley (Canton, N.Y.) were all named to the preseason team.
Leveille was second on UMass in scoring last season with 25 goals and 18 assists for 43 points. He was named an honorable mention All-American by the USILA and was a second team All-ECAC and All-New England selection. Little finished last season fourth on UMass in scoring with 22 goals and five assists for 27 points. He was named a second team All-ECAC selection.

The Minutemen, co-champions of the ECAC, finished the 2001 season with a 12-2 overall record and captured their 17th New England championship and first since 1997. The 12 victories tied for the third most ever by a UMass team. The Minutemen ended the season in the top 10 in all seven of the statistical categories the NCAA kept, including being first in man-down defense and second in scoring offense. UMass also finished the regular season ranked No. 9 in the STX/USILA Coaches' Poll.
