IRVINE, Calif.- The Concordia University Irvine women's soccer team is flying high after getting voted second in the PacWest preseason poll.

The Eagles finished strong last year with four shutout victories in a row and they are looking to make an impact on the PacWest Conference again this year.  Two Eagles have been named to the PreSeason All-PacWest Team: Carmany Jones and Isabella Angotti-Jones.  In addition, Angotti-Jones was picked as Preseason PacWest Defender of the Year.
               
Jones proved to be a threat last year scoring eight goals and playing 1,236 minutes on the season.  She was named First-Team All-PacWest in both her freshman and sophomore year as well as 2018 D2CCA Women's Soccer All-West Region Second Team.  The conference has high hopes for her again this season as does the entire Eagle family.

Angotti-Jones was previously Third Team All-PacWest in 2016 then earned All-PacWest Second Team in 2018.  She scored three goals last season as a defender and showed to be a tough match-up for the opponents to get past.  Angotti-Jones also nailed in the game-winning goal against FPU to win the conference opener.

The season is looking hopeful for the women's soccer team as they have 19 other returners to help Jones and Angotti-Jones have a successful season.  Coach Chris Gould also recruited seven new players to come in and add some fight for the Eagles.
