FRESNO, Calif. - With the 2026 soccer season set to kickoff on Wednesday at Bulldog Soccer Stadium, three Bulldogs were named to the 2026 Pac-12 Preseason Impact List, as announced by the Pac-12 on Tuesday morning.
Each of the nine teams from the Pac-12 conference had three players selected by their coaches that they believe will be strong contributors and difference-makers throughout their respective seasons. Hayden Crotty-Romero, Katie Morris, and Aniston Renovato were selected for Fresno State as they prepare to embark on their first season as members of the Pac-12 conference.
Crotty-Romero, a junior from Modesto, California, enters her third season with the Bulldogs, having appeared in 36 matches in her career. The midfielder is coming off her sophomore season where she started a career-high 16 games, logged a career-high 1008 minutes, and recorded her first career point after assisting on the game-winning goal in Fresno State's 4-0 win against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
Morris, a three-year starter on defense for the Bulldogs, was named captain of the Fresno State women's soccer team this spring. In 55 career games, Morris has made 50 starts while totaling seven points. After recording a point in each of her first two seasons, Morris finished her junior year with five points on a goal and three assists, including the first collegiate goal of her career against Sacramento State. Morris has remained a defensive anchor for the Bulldogs, helping Fresno State shutout 18 opponents since her arrival in 2023.
Aniston Renovato, a forward from Fresno, California, has played 20 games for the Bulldogs over the course of two seasons. In those 20 games, Renovato has totaled 583 minutes on the pitch for the Bulldogs and two points. During her sophomore campaign, Renovato scored her first collegiate goal against Sacramento State, and finished the season with 16 shot attempts, five of which found the target.
