The Midwest Conference released its 2015 Volleyball Coaches Preseason Poll on Wednesday and Lake Forest College was picked to finish in fourth place. The Foresters were also fourth in the MWC standings a year ago with a league record of 7-3.
Voting is done by the MWC head volleyball coaches. Each coach votes for the ten other schools in the conference in order of predicted finish. Points are assigned in reverse order of voting (ten points for first, nine for second, etc.). Coaches may not vote for their own teams.
Lake Forest's fourth-year head coach Heather Noll welcomes back the majority of her roster from 2014, including two-time First Team All-MWC selection Brittany Avonts and Second Team choice Paige Jespersen.
The Foresters will open the regular season at Illinois Institute of Technology on Tuesday, September 1. The match will begin at 7:30 p.m. Lake Forest will host the Forester Invitational September 4-5 and will begin conference play at Knox College on September 25.
