Rutger's website update

This from the Rutgers (the State University of New Jersey) Women's Soccer page:

PISCATAWAY, N.J. – The Rutgers women's soccer team (7-1, 2-0) is ranked nationally for the first time in 2008, appearing in the Top Drawer Soccer poll (No. 25) and the Soccerbuzz rankings (No. 27). RU is also in the receiving votes category in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA)/adidas and Soccer Times polls, and is ranked No. 4 in the NSCAA/adidas mid-atlantic regional poll.

RU is coming off a 5-0 win over BIG EAST foe and No. 19 ranked Villanova, Monday night at Yurcak Field. Junior Gina DeMaio (Parsippany, N.J.) tied her career-high with three assists, while senior Alicia Hall (Port Republic, N.J.) scored two goals. Senior Kristen Edmonds (Metuchen, N.J.), junior Caycie Gusman (Honolulu, Hawaii) and sophomore Ashley Medcalf (Waipahu, Hawaii) all recorded goals in the win.

Rutgers faces its third ranked opponent of the season on Friday at 5:30 p.m., when No. 4 Portland comes to Yurcak Field. RU is 1-1 against ranked teams, losing to No. 10 Penn State 1-0 in double-overtime on Sept. 5 and defeating Villanova on Monday.

Yeah we are just another ranked team coming to town. HaHa. I think they might be in for a surprise.
