Women are 10th In AP

[Bluedawg]

The Duke women have been ranked 10th is the AP preseason poll. Not a bad spot considering they have a new coaching staff and lost two key players from last year.

Here's ESPN's pre-season Top 25 (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncw/preview2007/news/story?id=3093318), which has us at #9. Interestingly, this is a combination of four ESPN experts' rankings, so actually one of them had us as high as 7 and someone had us as low as 11. We will be facing several other ranked teams this season: Tennessee, Maryland, Rutgers, UNC, Florida State, Virginia, and possibly Stanford or UConn, depending on whom we face in the Virgin Islands Paradise Jam.

Edited to add Pittsburgh to that list.
