WINONA LAKE, Ind. - Grace's women's soccer team earned high praise in the NAIA Preseason Top 25 Poll.

The Lancers are ranked No. 12 in the initial poll, equaling their spot from the final ranking last year.

It marks the second-highest preseason ranking in program history, just shy of the 2016 squad that began the year ranked 11th.

Grace started the 2025 season out of the poll. But the Lancers improved their ranking in each subsequent poll, bolstered by a sensational season.

This fall, the Lancers have nine matches scheduled against teams ranked in the Top 25. Grace, who boasts an impressive arsenal of returning firepower, will immediately test itself on Saturday with a neutral-site match against No. 4 Oklahoma Wesleyan.
