INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - In the first weekly regional ranking of the
season by the NCAA Division II Championship committee, the Anderson
University men's soccer team is ranked second, as released by the
NCAA Wednesday afternoon.
The Trojans (12-2, 7-0 SAC), who have won a school-record 10
straight matches and are 14-1 at home since opening play at Trojan
Stadium last season, were ranked 10th in the nation and second in
the region by the NSCAA on Tuesday.
The NCAA rankings, which will be published weekly until the end
of the season, are used to determine seeding in the NCAA
Tournament. The Southeast Region, comprised of the South Atlantic
Conference, Conference Carolinas and the Peach Belt Conference,
will garner six spots in the Big Dance.
The Trojans, who fell just shy in their bid for the Elite Eight
last season, are looking for third consecutive trip to the NCAA
Tournament.
Anderson opens a two-match road swing at Lincoln Memorial on
Saturday. The Railsplitters are tied with Tusculum in second place
in the SAC standings, each with just one conference loss. Kick-off
is scheduled for 4 p.m. in Harrogate, Tenn.
