The University of Alabama Women's soccer team moved up another slot, to No. 4, in the latest United Coaches Soccer Top 25. 

Alabama is also No. 4 in the latest rankings by Top Drawer Soccer and No. 5 by College Soccer News.  

The Crimson Tide (11-1-1, 4-0-0 Southeastern Conference) moved up after Virginia Tech scored two second-half goals to upset No. 3 North Carolina, 2-1. 

The Crimson Tide is seventh in RPI, one slot behind Arkansas (8-2-1), which is No. 8 in the Top 25. Alabama will host the Razorbacks on Oct. 16, in a potential showdown for the SEC regular season title. 

But first, Alabama will host No. 20 Ole Miss on Thursday night.

Last week, Alabama played just once, notching a 2-1 victory at Georgia (8-4-0, 2-2-0 SEC). It was the Crimson Tide’s seventh-consecutive win.

The Crimson Tide has six games remaining on its regular-season schedule. The 2022 SEC Soccer Championships will be held Oct. 30-Nov. 6 at the Ashton Brosnaham Soccer Complex in Pensacola, Fla.
