SEATTLE -- The University of Washington men's soccer team will open the 2017 season ranked in the top 15 as the Huskies were slotted No. 11 in the United Soccer Coaches preseason poll released Thursday.
United Soccer Coaches is the new brand identity of the NSCAA. The name change was included in an announcement on Wednesday (Aug. 2), which also unveiled the upcoming host cities for the annual United Soccer Coaches Convention.
Washington was among three Pac-12 Conference teams in the preseason top 25 which also included reigning NCAA champion Stanford at No. 1 and UCLA at No. 21.
Anticipation for the 2017 season on the pitch is increasing with each day for the Huskies, who advanced to the NCAA Round of 16 for the fourth time in program history last season. The Huskies, who swept UCLA and handed Stanford its first loss at home since 2014, ended the season 14-7.
Under the guidance of head coach Jamie Clark, who enters his seventh season at the helm, the Huskies enter the 2017 season paced by the return of Pac-12 Freshman of the Year Handwalla Bwana and All-Pac-12 honorable mention honoree junior Kyle Coffee.
Washington's 19-match regular season schedule features six matches against teams ranked in the top 25, including two against No. 1 Stanford and No. 21 UCLA. The Huskies open the 2017 regular season at home against No. 20 New Mexico on Friday (Aug. 25) and will face No. 16 Akron in the team's first road game on Friday (Sept. 1).
The Huskies will officially report for the 2017 season next week and will host an exhibition game against Portland State on Saturday (Aug. 19).
