Twenty-one time national champion North Carolina is back in familiar surroundings this week, sitting atop the TopDrawerSoccer.com Tournament 64 National Ranking for women’s soccer.

The Tar Heels defeated Ohio State 3-0 in Columbus this weekend, while previous #1 UCLA suffered the first blemish on their record, drawing 1-1 to undefeated Pepperdine. The combination of results moved UNC to #1 and the Bruins down to #5, with weekend winners Stanford, Notre Dame and Virginia at 2, 3 and 4 respectively in this week’s ranking.

New entrants to this week’s ranking include the aforementioned Pepperdine Waves and CAA member William & Mary, which defeated Georgetown on Friday by a score of 3-1. South Florida and Washington leave the ranking for now.
