After Gonzaga cracks top 25, Vito Higgins reflects on the last time it was ranked

Vito Higgins, keeper for the 2007 Men's Soccer Team, was on the last team to be ranked until now.

Higgins remembers his teammates packing up for Thanksgiving break in a dejected state, when the Zags discovered they had in fact received a tournament bid.

“It was definitely a surprise,” he said. “We had won some pretty big games, we had been ranked and had some success, but we had also struggled for a good part of the season too, so we had kind of more or less crossed ourselves off the list of going to the tournament.
