AURORA -- The Colorado High School Activities Association has released its preseason coaches' polls for girls soccer.
Defending state champions Fossil Ridge (5A), Evergreen (4A), Colorado Academy (3A) and Loveland Classical (2A) have been voted preseason No. 1 in each of their respective classes.
This is the only coaches' poll that will be conducted by CHSAA for girls soccer this season. Throughout the season, CHSAA will publicize the Seedings Index as a weekly ranking for girls soccer. Those rankings will start once there are enough games played to populate a ranking (approximately week 3 or 4).
The girls soccer season starts Saturday, and concludes on May 2.
Postseason play culminates with the state championship games May 19 (3A, 4A) and 20 (2A, 5A) at Weidner Field in Colorado Springs.
