This week marks the University of Memphis women's soccer team's fourth straight week ranked in the top ten, the longest such run in program history.
Since Sept. 20, The U of M (13-0-1) has been ranked in the top ten of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. Though dropping from No. 6 to 8 in less than a week after tying SMU last weekend, the Lady Tigers are one of just six undefeated teams at the Division l level.
"All of the teams are quality teams," said Brooks Monaghan, head coach of the Lady Tigers. "The teams that are above us and right below us won their games on the weekend, so it's going to switch when its that close. Hopefully we can get the results that we need this weekend and jump back up. It's so tight that with any little slip up, you're going drop a little bit. But at the end of the day, it's great to say we're top ten."
The Tigers return to the Mike Rose Soccer Complex on Friday to face UTEP (10-3-2) at 7 p.m.
"We say, ‘Take one game at a time,'" Monaghan said. "Don't get caught up in the rankings and weekly awards, just focus on the task at hand."
