The 2016 iteration of UConn Men’s Soccer saw a disappointing end with a 2-0 loss in the American Athletic Conference semifinals to Tulsa, helping them finish outside of the 48-team field for the second time in three seasons.
But that was last year, this is this year. On Thursday, the United Soccer Coaches poll, formerly the NSCAA Coaches poll, was released and the Huskies are ranked No. 24 in the country.
They are the only team in the American ranked in the poll, but the Huskies do have three 2017 opponents ranked in the top 15.
