FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Arkansas soccer team put six Razorbacks on the 2019 Southeastern Conference (SEC) Coaches’ Preseason Watch List, the conference announced on Tuesday morning.
Senior Stefani Doyle is making her third-straight appearance on the list while Tori Cannata is making her first. Doyle was named to the SEC Tournament All-Tournament team a year ago, as she helped guide the Razorbacks to their third-straight conference tournament title match.
Three juniors, including Parker Goins, Taylor Malham and Haley VanFossen were named to the watch lists for the second-straight season. VanFossen was also named to the preseason Herman Trophy Watch List on Aug. 1, and became the first Razorback named to the All-SEC First Team since Claire Kelley was tabbed in 2016. The Broken Arrow, Oklahoma native was just the seventh Razorback in history to be named to the first team.
Sophomore Bryana Hunter is the lone underclassman. She’ll be anchoring a defensive line this year that recorded eight shutouts in 2018.
The Razorbacks will be on the road this Thursday for their opener against UNC-Greensboro before welcoming the Oklahoma Sooners to Razorback Field on Sunday, Aug. 25. First kick is slated for 6 p.m. CT and the match will be the first of two Arkansas matches televised on the SEC Network.
