MADISON, Wis. – Wisconsin women's soccer's Caitlyn Clem, Victoria Pickett and Dani Rhodes were recognized by the Big Ten on Monday as members of the preseason All-Conference team, as chosen by the league's coaches.
 
All three are no strangers to conference honors. Both Pickett and Rhodes were named to the All-Big Ten freshman team in their rookie seasons, while Pickett was also named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 2015.
 
In that same season, Pickett joined Clem on the All-Big Ten second team, which marked the first of two times that Clem was honored by the conference as she was named to the All-Big Ten third team in 2016.
 
The Big Ten also released its preseason coaches' poll, which had Wisconsin finishing sixth. Penn State was chosen as the favorite to win the conference's women's soccer championship in 2017.
