The USA South Athletic Conference's women's soccer coaches have released their 2025 preseason poll. Head coaches do not vote for their own teams in the balloting.
Brevard, the defending regular season League champions, was placed atop the rankings thanks to receiving 77 total points and five of the possible ten first place votes. The Tornados finished last season without a loss en route to an 8-0-1 record. Southern Virginia came in second in the voting with 71 points and three first place nods. Rounding out the top-three of the preseason poll was the defending Conference tournament champions, Methodist, who gathered 69 points and the final two first place votes.
Since the first Conference women's soccer preseason poll in 2003, the program picked to capture the title has done so just nine times. Conversely, the team picked second has won the Conference championship seven times, including the past two seasons.
The 2025 USA South Women's Soccer Tournament will once again be conducted exclusively on campus sites. The top-eight seeded teams will advance to the tournament which will begin with first round action on Saturday, November 1. The semifinals will take place Wednesday, November 5 with the finals occurring on Saturday, November 8. The higher-seeded team in each contest will host that particular match.
