SMU Tabbed To Repeat As Division Champions; Three Selected To All-Preseason Team

IRVING, Texas (SMU/AAC) – The defending American Athletic Conference West Division champions were selected as the favorite to win the division again in the 2020-21 season, which starts January 22 at North Texas.

The Mustangs earned seven first-place votes for the division, while UCF was selected by the league's coaches to defend its conference title.

SMU had three players elected to the American Athletic Conference Preseason All-Conference team, which featured 13 players from seven of the league's 11 members. Lily Heim and Rachel Woulfe were unanimous selections after earning first-team accolades last season. Hannah Jacobs was also voted to the team after a second-team award in 2019.

Heim was also selected as a team captain by her teammates, along with Meryn Kennedy, the lone senior on the squad.
