Women and men both show up in national, regional rankings

The most recent editions of national/regional polls were released within the past couple of days, and both UR soccer teams were represented in them.

In the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) National Top 25, the women are ranked 8th in the country. The NSCAA also ranked UR second in the East region, with #2 nationally ranked William Smith coming in at number one in the regional poll.

The Yellow Jacket's are scheduled to play William Smith in an away match-up on 9/21 at 4:30pm.

Ranked just below the 'Jackets in the regional poll is #15 nationally ranked Union. UR plays them this upcoming Saturday in Schenectady at 1pm.

Those two games against a couple of the nation's best teams will be a good test for the 5-0 women, especially considering the 'Jackets have yet to face a top-notch opponent this year.

In the D3soccer.com poll, the UR women are ranked #13. See for yourself below:

On the men's side of the ball...

The NSCAA ranked UR 27th in the nation and 4th in the East Region. D3soccer.com had the 'Jackets at 26th in the nation, just one spot outside their Top 25.

UR's next game is away at #9 Hobart on Saturday, so similar to the women's upcoming opponents, the men are in for a good test their next game.
