UConn edges Heels for #1; Smith POTW

 

Ray Reid’s Connecticut Huskies are still #1 in the TopDrawerSoccer.com Tournament 48 National Ranking for men’s college soccer, despite suffering the first blemish on their record this season, a 0-0 draw vs. Notre Dame. The Huskies are still on top but find the #2 North Carolina Tar Heels breathing down their necks as UNC currently has an 8-match winning streak. New Mexico, Creighton, Maryland and Akron follow.

 

The ranking is a running effort to project the postseason NCAA Tournament field, including all automatic conference and at-large qualifiers. Weekly updates will appear every Monday.
