The University of Tulsa men's soccer team was named as the No. 12 team in the College Soccer News Preseason Rankings, as announced by the same publication.

TU returns 18 letterwinners, including seven starters, from last year's team that put together the best season in school history. The Golden Hurricane won both the Conference USA regular season and tournament championships for the second straight year, advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the fifth time in school history and earned a program-best No. 5 national ranking. Tulsa also set a new school-best 16-game unbeaten streak, a 16-game road win streak and a single-season best 10 shutouts.

Also ranked in this preseason poll is four teams TU will take on this season, including #6 Akron, #9 Northwestern, #24 Saint Louis and #27 Saint Louis.
