D-II SOUTH SPORTS FALL PREVIEW--GULF SOUTH CONFERENCE WOMEN'S SOCCER

NOTE: The D-II South Sports Fall Preview continues with an outlook on the women's soccer programs in the Gulf South Conference. Predicted order of finish is courtesy of the GSC.

1. West Florida

2. Lincoln Memorial

3. Harding

4. West Georgia

5. Christian Brothers

6. Central Arkansas

7. Montevallo

8. Alabama-Huntsville

9. North Alabama

10. Ouachita Baptist

11. Delta State

Analysis: Despite having its season prematurely cut short due to Hurricane Ivan last year, UWF is the team to beat in GSC women's soccer this year, as the Argonauts received seven of 10 first place votes in the preseason coaches poll. Defending regular season co-champions Lincoln Memorial and Harding, both of whom earned NCAA tournament bids a year ago, should be serious contenders for the title, while first-year program West Georgia surprised many by being picked to finish fourth.
