Columbus, GA - The Columbus State women's soccer team continued its rise through the Division II rankings on Tuesday, entering the top 10 for the first time in the program's short history. CSU jumped three spots from 13th a week ago to 10th in the nation this week in the NSCAA/Adidas Division II National Rankings.
CSU is currently riding a 12-game unbeaten streak as it prepares for a region contest at Catawba on Wednesday. The Lady Cougars won a pair of close games last week, defeating North Georgia on the road and then USC Upstate at home. CSU did allow goals in consecutive games for the first time this year, but rebounded on Monday with the team's 11th shutout in 15 games in a 4-0 win at Erskine.
In the NSCAA region poll, CSU remains second behind Tusculum. Carson-Newman is third, followed by Armstrong Atlantic State and Catawba - Wednesday's opponent. In the first NCAA regional poll released last week, CSU is in the top spot with Tusculum second. The NCAA poll is the one from which participants in post-season play are selected.
After its game at Catawba on Wednesday, CSU will host its final regular-season home game on Friday as another region opponent comes to Columbus. Mars Hill (eighth in the NSCAA region poll) will come in for a 5 PM game at the CSU Complex.
