Women's Soccer Ranked No. 6
The No. 6 ranking is the highest ever achieved by the Aztec women's soccer team.
The San Diego State women's soccer team moved up to No. 6 in the most recent National Soccer Coaches Association of America poll.
The ranking is now the highest ever achieved by an Aztec women鈥檚 soccer squad, bettering the previous high of No. 7 accomplished last week.
"It's exciting to be ranked as high as we are right now,鈥� said head coach Mike Friesen. 鈥淭he one that's probably the most exciting for us is the RPI at 6, which gives us a chance, if we can continue with what we've been doing, to host multiple rounds of the NCAA Tournament.
鈥淚t's an honor to be recognized by the coaches, but at the same time we want to be focused on our process, which has been every day, win games, focus on the next one at hand, and through all that try and enjoy it, as well, which is tough sometimes.鈥�
High rankings
The Aztecs still also sit at No. 3 in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Pacific Region poll, trailing only UCLA (2) and Stanford (1). Fellow Mountain West member UNLV is also in the rankings at No. 9.
San Diego State, which moved up to No. 16 in TopDrawerSoccer.com's field of 64, continued Mountain West play last weekend as it earned a 2-1 win against UNLV on Friday and then picked up a 3-1 victory over Fresno State on Sunday.
The Aztecs are now 14-1-1, which marks the fourth-best win percentage (.906) in the NCAA this season.
