A undefeated start to the 2008 season has launched the LSU soccer team into the top-10 rankings for the first time in the program’s history.
The Tigers are ranked No. 9 in this week’s Soccer America Top 25 rankings, which were released Monday morning.
This season is the first time LSU has finished non-conference play undefeated.
“We’re certainly very honored to receive this kind of recognition, and our kids deserve it with the hard work and dedication they’ve shown in preparing for this season,” LSU coach Brian Lee said in a news release. “But our focus is not on rankings and what has happened in the past. Our focus is now on this weekend with the start of SEC play. Everything we’ve done has been for this weekend.”
The Tigers open Southeastern Conference play this weekend, traveling to Mississippi State on Friday and Ole Miss on Sunday.
