WEBSTER TOPS PRE-SEASON COACHES' POLLS

ST. LOUIS - The Webster University baseball and softball squads topped both pre-season coaches' polls in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SLIAC). Both teams will look to defend their SLIAC Regular Season and Tournament Championships from a year ago, but it won't be easy.

The Gorlok baseball team received eight first place votes, while Maryville University received one first place vote. Maryville's softball squad received four first place votes, while the Gorloks had three first place votes and edged the Saints by just one point in the poll.
