SAN BRUNO, Calif. --- The West Coast Conference released the 2017 Volleyball Preseason Poll earlier today with Portland picked to finish third in conference. The Pilots enter the 2017 season coming off another historic year where Portland's 17 wins mark the most wins in a season since 1986, and their conference record is easily the best league mark since the Pilots began competing in the WCC in 1987.
"Our conference is so competitive, with such great coaches and players," said head coach Brent Crouch. "It's an honor our program is regarded so highly. But, preseason polls don't mean much more than that.
