After two straight national titles, Fresno Pacific opens this season as the No. 1 team in the NAIA preseason rankings.

Fresno Pacific captured all 20 first-place votes and earned 560 points in this week's NAIA Volleyball Top 25 Preseason Coaches' Poll that was announced Tuesday. Concordia, last year's runner-up, is ranked second, followed by California Baptist and Azusa Pacific, giving the Golden State Athletic Conference a sweep of the top four spots in the poll.

It was the second straight year the Sunbirds opened with the No. 1 ranking.
