Men's Soccer Picked Second in CCAA Pre-Season Coaches Poll
August 11, 2007

Despite claiming its 7th overall California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Championship last year and 5th in 8th years, the Cal State Dominguez Hills men's soccer team was picked to finish second in this year's CCAA Championship according to a poll of the league head coaches.

Sonoma State, which claimed the 2005 CCAA Title, received all 10 first-place division votes and four votes to win the CCAA tournament that decides the league champion. SSU won the North Division a year ago with a 13-2-1 conference record en route to a 14-6-1 overall finish. The Seawolves narrowly missed the NCAA postseason.

The defending CCAA Champion Toros, coming off a 15-7-1 campaign that included an NCAA appearance and led by 2nd-team All-Region senior forward Sammy Rivas (Long Beach, CA/CS Fullerton), are expected to win the South Division title. CSUDH received eight first-place division votes and three “tournament champion” votes.

Cal State L.A. and UC San Diego each received two votes to win the CCAA tournament, with the coaches not allowed to vote for their own team.
