KANSAS CITY, Mo. | United Soccer Coaches - McKendree University women's soccer continued to rise in the national rankings, jumping six places to No.18 in
the latest USC Division II poll after a 3-0-0 week, which saw two true road wins and a home-opening victory. The Bearcats sit 5-0-0 on the season overall while starting off Great Lakes Valley Conference play with a 3-2 victory at Rockhurst, avenging its loss to the Hawks in KC last year.
