New York, N.Y.- Providence College men's lacrosse player Tim Hinrichs (Amherst, N.H.) was named to the Preseason All-BIG EAST Team, in an announcement by the league on Feb. 9. Additionally, the Friars were selected to finish fourth in the BIG EAST Preseason Coaches' Poll, with 13 points.
 
Hinrichs started all six games in the abbreviated 2020 season. The graduate student tallied eight points on four goals and four assists. It marked the second-straight season the midfielder has earned Preseason All-BIG EAST honors.
 
Denver topped the poll with 25 points, including five first-place votes followed by Georgetown with one first-place vote and 21 points. Villanova edged the Friars in third with 17 points while Providence earned 13 points. Finishing off the poll was Marquette with nine points and St. John's with five points.
