Defending MCC regular season co-champions Indiana Wesleyan and Marian have each returned to the NAIA Women's Soccer Coaches' Preseason Top 25 Poll, the NAIA announced Tuesday.

IWU earned the league's top billing with its No. 10 ranking, one spot higher than it closed out last season with a record of 18-3-1 and a trip to the NAIA National Championship. Marian will start its season the same place it ended last year--at No. 16 in the Top 25 Poll.

In the others receiving votes category, Spring Arbor received 18 votes while Grace picked up one vote.
