College Soccer Update: University of West Georgia women’s soccer team

UWG soccer picked 6th in GSC


The University of West Georgia women’s soccer team, fresh off of its first postseason victory in school history, was voted to finish sixth by the Gulf South Conference coaches in the annual GSC Preseason Poll.
First-year UWG head coach Chris Davidovicz is one of two new coaches in the league this year, joining former Lee assistant Chris Walker, who is the new coach at North Alabama. He takes the reins of a team that finished sixth in the league last season and reached the GSC Tournament for the first time since 2008, beating Valdosta State in overtime for the first postseason win in program history.
Defending national champion West Florida was picked to finish first, followed by Valdosta State in second and 2012 GSC runner-up North Alabama in third. Alabama-Huntsville was selected fourth, followed by West Alabama and West Georgia in the fifth and sixth spots, respectively. Christian Brothers and Delta State were picked seventh and eighth to round out the poll.
Also counting as league matches for the second straight year will be Shorter and Union, but the two schools are still provisional members and will not be eligible for polls and All-GSC consideration until 2014.
West Georgia has two exhibition matches, taking on Georgia Southwestern on the road on Aug. 23 and Darton at home on Aug. 29. The Wolves’ season opener is set for Thursday, Sept. 5, at Nova Southeastern.
The Wolves feature a pair of local standouts from Central High School in sisters Ashlynn Deese and AnnaLeah Deese.
