Following a successful season-opening trip to Virginia, Eagles earn highest regional rankings since 2008
STATESBORO, Ga. - Fresh off of a successful season-opening trip to Virginia, the Georgia Southern men's soccer team is ranked fifth in the first United Soccer Coaches DI Men's Soccer Southeast Region rankings, released today by the organization.
The Eagles (1-0-1) opened the 2018 season with a 2-0 win over VCU and a come-from-behind 2-2 draw at Old Dominion over the weekend. Those results are good enough to place the team fifth in the first region rankings of the season, and it matches the highest regional ranking achieved by the Georgia Southern men's soccer program - the team was also ranked No. 5 in the region in 2008, following the Eagles' 2-1 win at Clemson.
Fordham (1-0) tops the region poll, with Old Dominion (1-0-1) second. ODU moved into the national rankings this week as well, debuting at No. 25. New Mexico (1-1), Coastal Carolina (1-1) and the Eagles round out the top five ranked teams in the region.
Charlotte (1-0), Kentucky (1-0), Appalachian State (2-0), Dayton (1-0-1) and Rhode Island (2-0) fill out the rest of the region rankings. Click here to view the complete United Soccer Coaches Southeast Region Rankings for August 28th.
