INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – This afternoon, the Horizon League released the 2023 men's soccer preseason poll, presented by Under Armour. Coaches from each of the conference's 10 institutions voted on where each team will finish at the end of the 2023 season.
Cleveland State, who won the Horizon League tournament last season, was picked to finish first.
Green Bay was picked to finish fifth after being slated to finish eighth last season (ended the 2022 season in seventh). The team has many key returnees, including reigning Horizon League Goalkeeper of the Year Tobias Jahn and Horizon League Defensive Player of the Year Hesron Barry.
