ISU's men were picked 3rd, the women 6th in the preseason MVC media poll. This seems about right based on who is returning from last season. Hopefully both ISU teams finish high at the MVC meet later this Fall.
MVC Release
no real surprise here, even winning one MVC match will be an improvement from the past 3 seasons. Dahl has her work cut out for her.
MVC Preseason poll
I know polls mean nothing, but here is the one most people go by, released today, ISU opponents in bold. I'd say ISU has it's work cut out for them, given they play two I-A teams as well. The only unranked teams on the ISU schedule are SEMO, Mizzou State, and Illinois State.
1. Appalachian...
much like football, the ISU women's soccer, volleyball, and softball teams are gonna be picked to probably finish last or pretty close to it, until they can prove they can compete w/ the other MVC teams. Which is hopefully soon!
