Women’s Soccer Receives Votes in Preseason Coaches’ Poll

NAIA Top 25 Poll

KANSAS CITY – Taylor picked up where it left off last season in the polls, continuing to receive votes and collecting 14 points in the 2024 NAIA Preseason Women's Soccer Coaches' Top 25 Poll released on Wednesday.

The Trojans have appeared in 19-consecutive polls dating back to the third poll of the 2022 season, in which the Trojans began the year on a ten-match unbeaten streak, which included nine victories.

TU had an impressive season in 2023, finishing 10-3-5 and 5-2-2 in league play while narrowly missing out on the NAIA National Tournament.

Audrey Grimm topped the scoring charts for the Trojans and returns for her senior season along with Leah McQuade, who burst onto the scene as a freshman and scored eight goals, good for a tie for second on the team. Stalwarts in defense, Brooke Cimini, Libby Thomas, and Campbell Massey also return to a talented and deep squad.

A plethora of other key contributors return for the Trojans, along with 10 incoming freshmen brought in by Head Coach Scott Stan.

Stan has put together a challenging schedule for his formidable team, featuring seven teams ranked or receiving votes in the opening poll, including two in the top six.

#RV Taylor begins the season on the road against Georgetown on Saturday, August 17 at 1:00 pm before opening their home schedule on Saturday, August 24, against #RV Carroll with kick-off slotted for 7:00 pm.
