The Southern Oregon women's soccer team has been picked to finish fourth in the annual Cascade Conference Preseason Poll.

Concordia, the winners of the last nine conference titles, was the unanimous pick to win the crown again. College of Idaho is picked to finish second, followed by Corban and SOU.

The Raiders finished 7-8-2 overall and 6-3-1 in Cascade Conference play, just missing out on the conference's postseason tournament.

Southern Oregon returns All-Conference performers Jessica Kuehlwein (Oregon City, Ore./Oregon City) and Denise Powell (Grants Pass, Ore./Hidden Valley) from last year's team.

The Raiders open up the 2010 season Aug. 22 when they take on Concordia-Irvine in Portland.
