After a pair of 1-0 weekend victories, the Duquesne University men's soccer team climbed to 13th in the country in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America's NSCAA/adidas Top 25 poll. The Dukes are also 28th in the College Soccer News Top 30 national poll as well as first in the NSCAA Middle Atlantic Region rankings.

The NSCAA rankings are all-time bests in the program's eleven-year history. The Red and Blue are the only Atlantic 10 team listed in either national poll though Saint Louis received votes in the CSN ranking.

The Dukes (10-2-0, 4-0-0 Atlantic 10) are currently on a five-game winning streak, following their weekend victories over Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

The Red and Blue return to action on Saturday as they host the Billikens at 6:00 pm on Rooney Field in their home season finale.
