Men's Soccer Drops in National Polls

A two-game skid was all it took for dramatic change in WVU's Week 3 standings.

After a dominant 4-1 victory over American University last night at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium, the WVU Men's Soccer team is feeling the national attention.

The Mountaineers (2-2) are back in the win column, and staying in the nation's Top 25 programs. A two-game skid against No. 7 Pitt and Penn State brought the team down from No. 18 to No. 23 in the United Soccer Coaches Poll and down from No. 4 to No. 10 in Week 3's TopDrawer Soccer poll. 

Nevertheless, the program is on the uptick and looking forward to a redemption-fueled weekend.

Last night's 4-1 victory over American will help get the .500 Mountaineers back on track.
