In the CUSA pre season polls released yesterday, Liberty was picked to finish in first place, followed by Western Kentucky. Paige Bachman was selected as Pitcher of the Year, Rachel Roupe was Player of the Year. All conference team has Rachel Craine at 3rd base and Elena Escobar pitcher.
We have been given much love by CUSA voters in Pre-Season Polls and so far only Football has exceeded expectations and Women's soccer has met the expectation. While we were consistently in the top 2 in the Sports Cups of Big South and ASUN conferences, we are not as dominant in the CUSA. We are still top tier, but nowhere near the top dog across the board in our new league.
Just an observation.
