Soccer is being recognized on The Plains.
Auburn soccer is now ranked at No. 24 and No. 25 by the United Soccer Coaches Poll and the Top Drawer Soccer poll, respectively. The team has started the 2018 season with a shutout victory over Samford and a 2-1 win over then-No. 18 South Florida.
Auburn joins Florida, Texas A&M, South Carolina and Tennessee as one of five SEC schools in the polls.
Additionally, the team earns its highest ranking by NCAA Women's Soccer RPI at No. 22.
The four goals scored in Auburn's home-opening win were the most by the Tigers in a season opener since 2010. During its ranked victory at South Florida, goalkeeper Sarah Le Beau had eight saves while Jessie Gerow and Jaelyn Gadson added goals.
Auburn continues the season at home with UAB Friday at 6:30 p.m. CT and Louisiana-Lafayette Sunday at 2 p.m.
