SAN BRUNO, Calif.– For the third year in a row, No. 13 Santa Clara women's soccer has been picked as at least a co-favorite atop the West Coast Conference preseason poll, tying with BYU with five first place votes. The Broncos also had a league-high three named to the Preseason All-WCC team with Kelcie Hedge, Alex Loera, and Kelsey Turnbow bringing home honors.
The Broncos bring back 41 of their 52 goals from last season when they went 17-3-2. It was their most wins since 2005 and the most regular season (16) and nonconference (9) wins since 2001.
