BERKELEY – Junior goalkeeper Drake Callender and senior midfielder Shinya Kadono were each named to the Preseason All-Pac-12 men's soccer team announced Tuesday.
Callender, who last week was one of 32 players nationally named to the 2018 MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List, was an All-Pac-12 First Team selection last season after pacing the conference in saves with 78 and save average (4.33 saves per game). He was also a United Soccer Coaches NCAA All-Far West Region First Team selection last year.
Kadono was an All-Pac-12 Second Team pick last season after finishing in the top-10 in the conference in shots, points, goals and game-winning goals. That included placing No. 4 in the Pac-12 with seven goals. He also was a United Soccer Coaches NCAA All-Far West Region Second Team choice in 2017.
Twelve student-athletes were named to the Preseason All-Pac-12 Team.
The Preseason Pac-12 Coaches Poll also was released Tuesday and the Bears were picked to finish in fourth place in the conference standings. Three-time defending NCAA champion was chosen to win the Pac-12 championship.
The Bears will make their first appearance at Edwards Stadium on Saturday when they host Saint Mary's in an exhibition game at 5 p.m. Cal opens the regular season at home against Detroit Mercy on Aug. 24.
