Marie Gulich and Mikayla Pivec represented the Beavers down at Pac-12 Media Day earlier this week with Coach Scott Rueck. It was there that the preseason Coaches Poll was announced. Let’s take a look:
As you can see, UCLA ranks at number one, likely due to the return of their dynamic duo in Jordin Canada and Monique Billings. Stanford comes in at number two because, well, they’re Stanford. Oregon follows at number three after a run to the Elite Eight last year behind a young talented core led by Freshman of the Year Sabrina Ionescu.
The Beavers were voted to place fourth this year.
