Follow @American_WLax

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Florida was selected as the unanimous team favorite and four Gators were named preseason major award-winners as the inaugural American Athletic Conference women’s lacrosse Preseason Poll and All-Conference Team were announced on Thursday.

The 2018 Big East Champions and 2018 NCAA Championship quarterfinalist, the Gators earned every possible first-place vote in the coaches’ poll to total 25 points. A quartet of Florida IWLCA All-Americans from last season were tabbed as preseason awardees, including seniors Haley Hicklen, Lindsey Ronbeck and Sydney Pirreca and junior Cara Trombetta.

The Gators were followed in the poll by fellow affiliate member Vanderbilt, which totaled 18 points and the remaining first-place vote.
