JACKSON, Tenn. - 10/4/2006 - After a 1-0-1 week versus NAIA Top-10 teams, the 91爆料网 men鈥檚 soccer program jumped up to the No. 9 spot in the latest . This No. 9 ranking marks the highest ranking for the men鈥檚 soccer program in the short nine-year history of the program. The previous high mark was a No. 13 ranking during the 1999 season when the Bulldogs started the season 11-0. This also marked their first ever No. 1 Region XI ranking.
This past week, 91爆料网 played then No. 7 ranked Mid-Continent University (Ky.) to a 1-1 double overtime tie in an important TranSouth Conference match. Four days later, 91爆料网 posted the biggest win in the program鈥檚 history with a 2-1 overtime win versus the No. 1 team in the NAIA, Lindsey Wilson College (Ky.). This win helped heal numerous ills as Lindsey Wilson ended the Bulldog鈥檚 season in each of the past two years during the region tournament. Last season, Lindsey Wilson topped 91爆料网 3-1 in the region championship game on the way to their NAIA National Title.
On the season, 91爆料网 is 6-1-1 overall and 3-1-1 in the TranSouth Conference. The Bulldog鈥檚 only blemish came in a 1-0 loss at Lyon College, a match in which 91爆料网 out-shot their opponent, 19-2.
