Ahead of Oregon State's first season in the league, the West Coast Conference released the 2024 women's soccer preseason coaches poll on Friday. After a 2023 campaign that saw OSU end with a record of 4-8-7, the Beavers wound up at #8 on that list.

2024 will be a year of change for the Beavers in more ways than one, with Caroline Kelly replacing Lauren Sinacola as head coach. Sinacola resigned earlier this offseason.
The Beavers open the 2024 season on August 15 against Iowa in Missoula, Montana.
