Aug 13, 2014 | Women's Soccer
OMAHA, Neb. - The UNO women's soccer team was picked to finish eighth in the Summit League Preseason Poll released on Wednesday. The poll is voted on by the league's head coaches.
The Mavericks garnered 17 points. UNO returns eight starters and 14 letterwinners from last year's 3-11-2 squad.
Denver was selected to repeat as league champions with the maximum 64 points and eight first-place votes. The Pioneers, ranked No. 25 in the NSCAA/Continental Tire Preseason Poll, went a perfect 7-0-0 in league play last season and advanced to their second straight NCAA Tournament.
South Dakota State received the only other first-place vote - league coaches were not allowed to vote for their own teams - and finished second with 55 points. North Dakota State came in third with 48 points, while Oral Roberts was fourth with 42 points. Western Illinois (34), Fort Wayne (31) and IUPUI (19) came in fifth, sixth and seventh, respectively.
UNO's 17 points edged out South Dakota's 14 points to round out the poll.
The Mavs begin the season with an exhibition Friday at 8 p.m. at Iowa State.
