For the second consecutive year, the Washington women's soccer team ended up fifth in a preseason poll of Pacific-12 coaches.

The Huskies finished seventh last season with a 3-5-3 conference mark and a 7-8-5 overall record.

In the preseason poll this season, Stanford was selected as the top team in the conference. The Cardinal, which won the NCAA title last year, received nine of the 11 possible first-place votes. Stanford, which looks to win its fourth consecutive Pac-12 title, returns seven starters, including All-American goalkeeper Emily Oliver.

UCLA, California and Oregon State followed Stanford in the poll.

Washington State, which advanced to the second round of the NCAAs last season, tied with Utah at eighth in the poll.
