The National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) released its 2015 preseason men’s soccer poll on Monday, and Indiana checks in at No. 14.
The Hoosiers, coming off a 12-5-5 campaign in 2014, have the third-highest ranking among Big Ten teams in the poll behind No. 9 Michigan State and No. 13 Maryland. Penn State comes in at No. 23, while in-state rival Notre Dame, who will play the Hoosiers on Aug. 30 in the IU Classic, is ranked fourth.
The top three in the poll are No. 1 UCLA, No. 2 defending national champion Virginia and No. 3 Georgetown.
Other IU regular-season opponents in the poll include No. 18 Louisville and No. 22 St. Louis.
