MSUB Women’s Soccer Ranked Tenth

BILLINGS, Mont. – Montana State Billings is ranked tenth in the first Far West Region poll issued by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. 

The NSCAA poll is not used to determine postseason seeding by the NCAA.  The NCAA Women’s Soccer Committee conducts its own regional polls for determining postseason qualification.

The Yellowjackets are one of four Great Northwest Athletic Conference teams ranked in the Far West Region by the NSCAA this week.  Seattle Pacific is second, Seattle University is third, and Western Washington is fifth.  Unbeaten UC San Diego holds the top spot in the region.

The Yellowjackets open GNAC play this week by hosting Western Oregon on Thursday and Saint Martin’s on Sunday.  Thursday’s game kicks off at 4 p.m., and Sunday’s starts at 11 a.m.
