Hartsville, S.C. – The Coker men’s soccer team jumped to #21 in the latest National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) national poll that was released on Tuesday afternoon. Even after a tough week of competition, that included a 1-1 tie to Francis Marion and a 3-1 loss to #3 ranked Lees-McRae, the Cobras (7-1-1, 2-1 Conf. Carolinas) still managed to move up to #21, their highest ranking in history.

In addition to their national ranking the Cobras also were ranked #3 in the southeast region, their second such ranking in as many weeks. Joining the Cobras in the regional ranking are fellow Conference Carolinas schools Lees-McRae (#1), Anderson (#5) Limestone (#10) and Pfeiffer (#10).

Coker will look to improve on their rankings with a match on Wednesday, as they travel to Queens University of Charlotte. Kick-off is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
