Sea Gulls hold steady at No. 20 in first regular season NSCAA Top 25 poll

KANSAS CITY, Kan. – The National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) released its first regular season Top 25 poll on Tuesday and the Salisbury University men's soccer team held steady at No. 20 in the nation.

The first South Atlantic region rankings were also released on Tuesday and the Sea Gulls (2-0-1) currently stand at No. 3 in the regional rankings. Christopher Newport University (3-0), ranked No. 3 nationally, is the top team in the South Atlantic region. The Sea Gulls will get the opportunity to square off with the Captains on Oct. 27 in Newport News, Va.

Salisbury had an impressive first week as the Gulls posted a 5-0 victory over 2009 NCAA tournament team Catholic University of America. SU then played host to the annual Elmer Lord Memorial Classic over the weekend and defeated Geneseo State 2-1 and played to a 110-minute scoreless draw with Elizabethtown College.

The Sea Gulls will return to action this Wednesday, as they are set to host Eastern Shore rival Washington (Md.) College at 4 p.m. at the SU Soccer Complex.
