COLLEGE SOCCER NEWS: UC Riverside Is Changing The Landscape
9/27/2012 3:14:00 PM | Men's Soccer
Riverside—There is something shaking in the Inland Empire of Southern California and it's not just the earth.
The men's soccer program at UC Riverside is shifting the landscape in the West Region and nationally. The Highlanders are ranked 24th in the College Soccer News Top 30 and National Soccer Coaches Association of America polls. And until last weekend, they were one of five Division I undefeated and untied teams in the country.
At 7-1-0, they open Big West play on Friday night against unbeaten and CSN No. 7-ranked UCSB at home, where they're expecting another record crowd at their stadium. A record 2,016 rocked the place at last year's game in which the Highlanders beat the nationally ranked Gauchos 3-1. They repeated the performance in Santa Barbara and also knocked off UC Irvine, which was ranked ninth in the country at the time.
