The Siena Heights women's golf team was rated third on the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference Preseason Poll as announced by the league on Thursday. 

SHU is ranked behind Lawrence Tech, defending WHAC Champion Northwestern Ohio, and Lawrence Tech. Last year, the Saints finished third in the WHAC standings. 

The Saints lost a pair of starters to graduation from a season ago but look to reload as they return three starters. First Team All-WHAC Senior Skylar Whitman returns along with Juniors Leah LaFleur and Chloe Zeolla. All of which started in last year's WHAC Tournament.
