Middle Tennessee senior Ty Petty and sophomore Alex Johnson have been named to the 2016-17 C-USA Women's Basketball Preseason All-Conference team as announced by the league office today.

The two Blue Raider standouts represent 25 percent of the eight-person team selected by the league's 14 head coaches.

Middle Tennessee is picked to finish second in what coaches believe will be a tightly-contested conference race as evidenced by balloting in the C-USA Preseason Poll. The Blue Raiders received five first-place votes.

WKU received six first-place votes and was picked as the preseason favorite, followed by Middle Tennessee, Old Dominion, Charlotte and UTEP in the top five spots, respectively.
