WICHITA FALLS, Texas - Midwestern State maintained its No. 2 position in the latest National Soccer Coaches' Association of America/HendrickCars.com Division Poll released Tuesday afternoon.
The Mustangs extended their field unbeaten streak to 26 matches by upping its season record to 5-0 with results over then-No. 10 Incarnate Word and St. Edward's (Texas) last weekend at the MSU Soccer Field.
MSU's No. 2 ranking over the past two reporting periods is the highest since the Mustangs carried the top ranking for three weeks during the 2008 seasons from Oct. 21-Nov. 4. Midwestern has now been ranked in each of the last 49 reporting periods dating back to the 2006 season including 29 weeks ranked within the Top 10.
The Mustangs continue to top the rugged Midwest/South Central Region contingent in the national poll. MSU is trailed by No. 3 Colorado Mines, No. 11 Metro State (Colo.), No. 14 Incarnate Word (Texas) and No. 18 Regis (Colo.).
Midwestern completes its season opening six-game home stand Friday night against the University of Texas of the Permian Basin. Kickoff off is set for 7 p.m. at the MSU Soccer Field.
