Women's soccer ranked regionally

Another sign of the successful fall season for Augsburg sports ...

The Auggie women's soccer team moved into the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Central Region rankings for the first time, listed at No. 9 in the weekly poll this week. Augsburg is one of two MIAC schools in the regional rankings; St. Thomas is ranked No. 5.

Augsburg is 8-1-3 on the season and 4-0-3 in MIAC play, after Tuesday's 2-1 win over Gustavus. Augsburg is unbeaten in its last eight games (5-0-3), and hosts Loras (Iowa) in a nonconference clash on Friday at 7 p.m. at Edor Nelson Field.
