Defending NSIC champion Wayne State College was picked to finish first in the 2026-27 NSIC Women’s Golf Preseason Coaches’ Poll.
Defending NSIC individual champion Gaia Stancikova was listed as the Wildcat Player to Watch in the NSIC this season.
The Wildcats received 11 first-place votes and 178 points in voting conducted by league coaches after winning their first-ever NSIC title last year while advancing to a second-straight NCAA Central Regional.
Minnesota State-Mankato followed in second with 157 points and the remaining three first-place ballots.
Stancikova, a junior from Castel San Pietro Terme, Italy, set a new single season scoring average record last season for the Wildcats and captured the NSIC individual medalist honors to help WSC capture the league title.
