MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The University of Memphis women's soccer team has been picked as the preseason favorite to win the American Athletic Conference, the league office announced Tuesday. The league's head coaches voted in the preseason poll, with five of the nine coaches selecting the Tigers first.
"I appreciate this compliment by my peers in our conference, who I have a lot of respect for. But at the end of the day preseason rankings and scores don't really matter," Memphis head coach Brooks Monaghan said. "This is something good that we can use with our kids to know that there won't be any surprises.
