URI Rams Men’s Soccer Back in National Rankings
Wednesday, October 29, 2014
The University of Rhode Island men's soccer team is back in the National Rankings for the first time since 2006. The Rams are ranked #21 by Soccer America and tied for #30 with Clemson in College Soccer News voting.
"The National Ranking doesn't really mean much to us, we really don't discuss it. We just prepare for each game and try to win" said URI Head Soccer Coach Gareth Elliott about the honor.
The Rams are 9-0-2 in their last 11 games and own the longest active unbeaten streak in the entire nation. The Rams also have a six game winning streak going which ties them with #8 North Carolina and Navy for longest active winning streak in the country.
