With a little more than two weeks before the 2025 softball season begins, the American Athletic Conference (AAC) released its softball preseason poll on Thursday morning. The poll is voted on by the coaches.
Wichita State was picked to win the conference for the second straight season.
The Shockers received four first-place votes. Florida Atlantic University and the University of North Texas received three.
Last season, the Shockers finished 28-22 and 60th in the RPI rankings. The season ended with a loss to the University of Charlotte in the AAC Championship title match.
