GREENSBORO, NC – UNC Greensboro is ranked in three of the four national men’s soccer polls this week, coming in at No. 19 in College Soccer News, No. 22 in Soccer America and No. 21 in Soccer Times.
The Spartans defeated nationally-ranked UAB and Birmingham-Southern to win the UAB Classic last weekend. UNCG had fallen out of three of the four national polls last week after a 2-0 loss to Connecticut, which ironically vaulted the Huskies to No. 1 in the Soccer America poll. The Spartans, ranked only in the College Soccer News poll last week at No. 23, climbed back into the Soccer America and Soccer Times polls this week with the two wins away from home.
The Spartans apparently narrowly missed out on the NSCAA Top 25. UNCG is ranked fifth in the South Region poll, behind No. 4 Clemson, which is also ranked No. 17 in the national poll. However, the Spartans lost to UNC Wilmington earlier in the season, which is ranked No. 25 in the national poll this week. NSCAA voting procedures make voters take head-to-head results into consideration when casting ballots.
