The University of South Florida women's soccer team has been tabbed fourth in the American Conference Preseason Coaches' Poll, a placement that reflects both the program's recent momentum and the expectations of league rivals.
Three Bulls — Sophia Cabral, Brooke Fabri and Yui Suetsugu — have earned spots on the conference's watch list, underscoring the depth of talent returning to the roster.
Head coach Chris Brown, now in his third season, brings a proven track record of success, having guided the Bulls to 12 victories in 2024 and secured three American Athletic Conference titles during his tenure.
A Decade of Dominance
Under Brown's leadership the program has compiled a ten‑year streak of 10‑plus win seasons, captured multiple conference titles and produced the school's first All‑American, Evelyne Viens, who has since become a Hall of Famer and Olympic gold medalist.
The 2025 roster blends experience with fresh blood, retaining ten players from the previous year while adding 18 newcomers who will look to contribute immediately.
Sophia Cabral tallied two points on a single goal in 2025, Brooke Fabri logged 1,283 minutes across 15 appearances and placed four of seven shots on target, and Yui Suetsugu earned American Conference Second Team honors after recording a goal and two assists.
With a coaching pedigree that includes developing most of the program's record‑holding players and guiding the team to eight NCAA appearances, the Bulls are positioned to continue their ascent and add another chapter to a legacy of excellence.
