SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – The West Coast Conference released its 2024 Preseason Coaches Poll on Friday.
 
Pacific came in a tie for eighth place in the poll with 38 points alongside conference newcomer Oregon State. Santa Clara received the most votes with nine first-place tallies and 98 points. Washington State (87) and Pepperdine (86) round out the top three. 
 
The Tigers' combination of veteran returners and newcomers should create plenty of challenge in one of the best soccer conferences in the country. With the addition of Oregon State and Washington State into the WCC, 11 teams will be vying for the WCC title this year.
 
Pacific kicks off the regular season next week, hosting Houston Christian at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 15, at Knoles Field.
