The Crimson Tide receives national recognition for the third consecutive week following its 7-1 start to season
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama soccer continues to move up in the ranks as Soccer America placed the Tide at No. 19 in its Week Four Women's College Top 25 rankings on Tuesday.
The Tide was also among several teams that received votes on TopDrawerSoccer.com and NSCAA's top-25 rankings. Furthermore, Alabama moved up two spots to No. 6 in the NSCAA Southeast Regional poll.
Alabama's 7-1 record includes wins over Jacksonville State and Samford in week one, then-No. 6/4 Florida State in week two, South Alabama and Troy in week three and Kennesaw State and Tennessee Tech in week four. The Tide suffered its lone loss to South Florida, 2-1, in overtime on Aug. 24.
Alabama first appeared on the Soccer America rankings list at No. 24 on Aug. 29 after outlasting Florida State, 1-0, on a goal off the foot of freshman Taylor Morgan. The triumph marked the first time Alabama defeated a top-10 ranked opponent and is the second win over an ACC team in school history. Last week, the Crimson Tide jumped up two spots to No. 22 after outscoring its opponents 5-1.
Alabama kicks off its Southeastern Conference slate on the road on Friday, Sept. 15 when it faces its second top-10 opponent of the year, No. 3 South Carolina, at the Eugene E. Stone III Stadium at 6 p.m. CT and will return to Tuscaloosa on Sunday, Sept. 17 to face Chattanooga at 5 p.m. CT at the Alabama Soccer Complex. Both games will air live on SEC Network +.
