WATERBURY, Conn. -- Amid the CACC Semifinals being held at LaMoy Field between Post University Men's Soccer and Holy Family University on Wednesday afternoon, both of the NCAA Regional Rankings were released for men's soccer and women's volleyball, seeing both Men's Soccer and Post University Women's Volleyball ranked fifth in either the Super Region 1 or East Region as announced by the association.
For Men's Soccer, they moved back a spot from fourth, falling behind Franklin Pierce University after dropping a 1-0 decision to #11 Bentley University on the road to end the regular season in what has been the only loss of the year so far for the Eagles. Post followed it up with a 1-0 victory over Georgian Court University on Sunday to advance to today's CACC Semifinals match against the Tigers. While that matchup did not factor into the regional rankings, the Eagles advanced to their seventh straight CACC title game and will face the University of Bridgeport on Saturday at 3:00 PM in hopes of winning their seventh conference championship in program history.
