Utes earn highest preseason placement under head coach Amy Hogue
SALT LAKE CITY – The first preseason rankings of 2024 were released by Softball America on Thursday and the University of Utah softball team earned the No. 13 spot in the publication's top 25.
This is the first time since 2018 the Utes have garnered such recognition in the preseason and it is the highest preseason ranking the program has ever achieved since Amy Hogue took over as head coach prior to the start of the 2008 season. This comes after the Utes spent the 2023 campaign logging a list of accomplishments that included the program's first College World Series appearance since 1994, the first-ever Pac-12 Tournament Championship and putting a program-record eight student-athletes on the All-Pac-12 roster. Hogue's squad also ended the year ranked as high as No. 7 in the national polls.
Softball America's rankings were topped off by the two-time defending National Champion Oklahoma Sooners, followed by Tennessee in the No. 2 spot, Florida State in third, Stanford in fourth and Clemson rounding out the top five. The list of Pac-12 rivals inside the top 25 include UCLA at No. 10, Oregon possessing the No. 16 slot and Washington at No. 22.
