Losses don't hurt soccer teams in rankings

By: Cash Kruth Posted: 09/21/09 8:20pm

Both the MSU men’s and women’s soccer teams hit a couple of road bumps this weekend, but neither team had much — if any — movement in the topdrawersoccer.com rankings.

The women’s soccer team (6-0-2), which beat Kent State, 2-0, on Friday before ending in a 1-1 tie with Eastern Michigan on Sunday, fell from No. 11 to No. 13 in the rankings, which are released each Monday.

The men’s soccer team (4-1-1) suffered its first loss of the season, a 2-0 loss to San Diego on Sunday, but still remained ranked No. 22 in the rankings.

Both teams begin Big Ten play Sunday at DeMartin Stadium at Old College Field. The women play the first game at noon against Penn State, before the men face Ohio State at 2:30 p.m.
