Women's Soccer Tabbed Fourth in SLIAC Preseason Poll
St. Louis- The St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference has released the 2013 women's soccer coaches' preseason poll.
The Fontbonne University Griffins, who finished tied for first in conference play last year along with Webster, were voted to finish fourth in conference this season.
Fontbonne returns 12 players with seven starters. Among those returns include First Team All-Conference senior performers Ava Johnson, Erica Kaiping and Kelly Lange. Also returning and contributing in the backfield will be sophomore Paige Pfankuch. Fontbonne will again be led by Coach Brian Hoener (2012 SLIAC Coach of the Year). This will be Hoener's third year at the helm of the women's soccer program. Fontbonne looks to newcomers Kelly Hobb, Kayla Thorper and Savannah Davis to provide depth in the Griffin lineup.
