The defending Big West Conference champion Cal Poly softball team was narrowly selected to take first place again this season in the preseason coaches poll released Tuesday.

Last season marked the Cal Poly softball program’s first Big West title and its first trip to the NCAA Division I Tournament.

The energy and eagerness was there at Mott Gym in Saturday night’s Central Coast rivalry match-up between the UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly men’s basketball teams – but the basket wasn’t too receptive of the ball when a Mustang released it.
