The GLIAC doesn't announce a preseason poll. With last year's results, Augustana placed seventh and return nearly its entire roster.
David Binsfeld headlines the group, coming in with the top 1m diving score in the field. His 474.55 points at the SMSU Quad hit a qualifying mark and is nearly 50 points higher than the second best score.
