SANTA CLARA, Calif. - The West Coast Conference announced its preseason golf polls on Wednesday, and Santa Clara University had three student-athletes named among the league's best. 

On the women's side, junior Annie Freman (pictured) - the WCC's Freshman of the Year and All-WCC First Team honoree in 2014 - was named to the All-WCC Preseason Women's Golf Team. The Broncos finished third in the five-team league last spring at the championship tournament.  

Senior Carlos Briones (pictured) and sophomore Hayden Shieh earned spots on the All-WCC Preseason Men's Golf Team. Both are local products from the Bay Area, who are in the midst of outstanding amateur careers. Shieh was the top young player in the WCC a year ago, winning the 2015 WCC Freshman of the Year award. 

The teams will play an extensive year-long schedule, which begins this month. The 2016 West Coast Conference Golf Championships will be held at Blackhawk Country Club in Danville, Calif. The tournament runs April 18-20.
