SHREVEPORT, La. – The Louisiana State University Shreveport (LSUS) men's soccer team has earned a No. 19 national ranking in the final NAIA Men's Soccer Coaches' Top 25 Poll of the regular season. The Pilots capped off a remarkable season by clinching the Red River Athletic Conference (RRAC) Regular Season Championship with an impressive 12-2-4 overall record and a stellar 11-0-2 mark in league play.

 

With this national ranking and regular season championship, LSUS qualified for a berth in the NAIA Men's National Soccer Tournament. The team's journey continues this Friday, November 8, when the Pilots take on Our Lady of the Lake University in a RRAC Men's Soccer Tournament quarterfinal match, set to kick off at 2 p.m.
