DURHAM, N.C. – With the regular season just two days away, the Duke women’s soccer program received a 13th-place nod in Soccer America’s 2017 Preseason Top 25 Wednesday.
The listing gives the Blue Devils a Soccer America preseason ranking of top 15 or better in six of the last seven years. Duke was also tabbed No. 5 by TopDrawerSoccer and No. 12 overall by the United Soccer Coaches earlier this month.
Stanford earned the top spot in the poll. West Virginia, who the Blue Devils will face on Friday, Sept. 8 in Morgantown, was selected second overall.
