Conference women's soccer title in 2005. The Captains, are the
three-time defending champions of the USA South regular season title.

one first place
vote. Greensboro College
rounded out the top-three as The Pride collected 38 points.
The women's regular season gets underway on Thursday, September 1

the field in non-conference matches.
