Men’s Soccer Earns a Trio of Top-20 Rankings

Navy is off to its best start since 1964 with a record of 11-0-0

ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The Navy men's soccer team is ranked in the top 20 of three national rankings this week after moving to 11-0-0 on the year with two wins last week. The Midshipmen also lead the Patriot League standings with 12 points and a 4-0-0 mark in league play.

Coming into the week, Navy is ranked 19th overall in the United Soccer Coaches Top 25 Poll, which is the program's highest ranking since United Soccer Coaches (formerly named National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA)) took over the national ranking in 1996. All-time in the coaches' poll, the Midshipmen had four overall rankings coming into the season and this mark's their third-straight ranking of the 2019 season.

In the United Soccer Coaches Poll this week, Navy moved up two spots from 21st and grabbed 173 total points. The Midshipmen are also ranked second in the Atlantic regional ranking behind James Madison – who is 17th in this week's national poll.

Navy also moved up to No. 14 in the College Soccer News Poll after coming in at No. 19 last week. In the Top Drawer Soccer Top 25, the Midshipmen are ranked 16th after slipping a position from No. 15 a week ago. 

The Midshipmen have country's longest winning streak at 15-straight wins going back to last season and the 11-0-0 start in the program's best since 1964, which was when Navy won the NCAA Championship. The Midshipmen were the first team in the country to 11 wins and they are one of three teams in the nation without a loss or a tie this season joining No. 1 Virginia (10-0-0) and No. 14 Missouri State (9-0-0).

Navy is back in action on Friday night as it takes on Army at Talen Energy Stadium at 7:30 p.m. in Chester, Pa., for Army-Navy Cup VIII.
