Bears Soccer Picked Second In Coaches Poll After surprising many with a second-place finish in 2007, Northern Colorado Soccer has tied Weber State for second place in the 2008 Big Sky preseason coaches' poll. The Bears received 37 points and two first-place votes -- one more than Weber State. Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own team. Last season the Bears, who were picked seventh in the preseason, beat Weber State 3-1 to make it into their first championship game since joining the Big Sky. The Bears fell to Sacramento State 3-0 in the title game. This season Northern Colorado will bring in eight new players, including senior-transfer MaryAnn Hoke from the University of Connecticut. Returning to the Bears as a graduate assistant coach is two-time ESPN The Magazine All-District team member Marika Johnson. Johnson led the Bears in 2007 with three goals and two assists. The Bears start the 2008 season on August 22 in a match against Bryant University. Full Results:
