2008 Fall Sports Preview--Gulf South Conference

D-II South Sports begins its look at the 2008 fall sports season with an inside look at the volleyball, men's and women's soccer programs in the Gulf South Conference.

Volleyball: For the first time in least the last 12 years, the University of North Alabama isn't a favorite to win the GSC title. Instead, that nod goes to the University of West Florida, whose Argonauts are coming off a successful 26-4 campaign, and was picked to win the East Division in 2008. In the West, Harding is team to beat, as the Lady Bisons hope to win their seventh straight division crown.

Women's Soccer: The UWF women's soccer team is also a favorite to finish on top in the GSC, as the Argonauts return three starters from last year's squad. But defending league champion Montevallo returns eight starters from a year ago, which will make for a very tight race.

Men's Soccer: The preseason pick to win the regular season title in this sport is, you guessed it, the University of West Florida! The Argonauts hope to win their third straight GSC title. But just like on the women's side, the University of Montevallo Falcons expect to give the Argos all they can handle.
