KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Intercollegiate Women's Soccer Organization of Coaches (IWSOC) in partnership with the United Soccer Coaches released the week 11 National Top 25 poll this afternoon with the Regis Rangers hitting their peak rank of the season so far as the new No. 13 team in the nation.
The Rangers improve one spot from last week's rank with this being the highest the Rangers have reached this season and also being the highest in program history since 2005 when they were No. 8 in the nation.
In addition, this is the seventh straight week in a row the Rangers have been represented in the polls with them earning votes three times and previously being ranked No. 22 on Oct. 6, No. 16 on Oct. 27 and No. 14 on Nov. 3.
Regis was recently taken down in the RMAC Tournament Semifinals by CMU by a score of 2-1 yet they continue to rise in the poll this week with them earning an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament as the No. 4 seed in the South Central Region.
They are making their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 12 years with this season being one of their best in recent history as they won the RMAC Regular Season title while going undefeated in RMAC play.
The Rangers will take on No. 5 seed UCCS in the first round of the tournament at No. 1 seed host Dallas Baptist's field with the winner of the game then facing off against DBU.
Regis last beat UCCS this season 2-0 on Oct. 4 with this being their 15th meeting all-time. Brooke Castillo and Fernanda Rodriguez both scored in that game as well.
