The California University of Pennsylvania men’s soccer team is ranked No. 21 in the latest National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Top 25 poll released on Tuesday.
The Vulcans started the season by posting a 2-0-1 record with wins at Alderson-Broaddus and versus Lincoln (Pa.) last week. Cal U has yet to allow a goal through the first 290 minutes this season, marking the second-straight year in which it has posted three-consecutive
shutouts to start a campaign. Cal U, who was last ranked in the Top 25 in 2009, used a goal in the 80th minute to claim a 1-0 win on Thursday against the Battlers. The Vulcans then played 110 scoreless minutes in a 0-0 double-overtime tie versus Chestnut Hill (Pa.) on Saturday
in the West Chester Tournament. The following day, seven different players scored a goal to help Cal U tally a 9-0 victory over Lincoln at the weekend tournament. The nationally-ranked Vulcans returned to action on, Wednesday, Sept. 7, when they
hosted Wheeling Jesuit for the first soccer game at the new facility near main campus (Orchard St./Pennsylvania Ave.) The game ended to late for press time but check the Cal Times next week for a full recap.
