WILDCATS ADVANCE TO SCHOOL-RECORD NO. 13 IN NSCAA TOP 25

Beaten only twice in the last 18 games, the Kentucky men’s soccer team has skied to a school-record No. 13 in the National Soccer Coaches Association top 25, released Tuesday morning.

Kentucky (7-2, 0-1 Conference USA) equaled the No. 13 ranking achieved by the 2006 UK team, a school record. The Wildcats have only suffered two losses in its last 18 matches, a 3-0 setback to No. 6 Indiana in Bloomington Tuesday night and a 1-0 double-overtime loss to Marshall in the conference opener.

Last week, UK ranked No. 20 in the NSCAA poll. Monday, UK checked in No. 23 in the College Soccer News and Soccer America top 25 and No. 19 in the Soccer Times coaches poll.
