DENVER – The Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference announced its 2026-27 Women's Basketball Preseason Coaches' Poll on Thursday afternoon, with MSU Denver selected to finish second in the conference. Junior guard Nevaeh Millard was also named to the Preseason All-RMAC team after earning Second Team All-RMAC honors following the 2025-26 season.

The Roadrunners received 166 points in the preseason poll, including one first-place vote, to rank second among the conference's 15 teams. Colorado Mesa was picked first with 192 points and 11 first-place votes, while UCCS followed MSU Denver in third with 157 points and two first-place votes.

Black Hills State placed fourth with 155 points, followed by Fort Lewis in fifth with 143 points. Colorado School of Mines (133), CSU Pueblo (129), New Mexico Highlands (99), Adams State (87) and Colorado Christian (74) rounded out the top 10.

Western Colorado (71) and South Dakota Mines (66) followed in 11th and 12th, respectively. Chadron State and Westminster tied for 13th with 39 points each, while Regis rounded out the poll in 15th with 25 points.

Millard was the lone Roadrunner selected to the Preseason All-RMAC team. The Denver native earned Second Team All-RMAC recognition for the 2025-26 season, and her preseason selection adds to the expectations surrounding MSU Denver as it prepares for the upcoming campaign.

The Roadrunners enter the season with a second-place preseason projection and a returning All-RMAC honoree as they look to contend for the conference title in 2026-27.
