LOGAN, Utah – Utah State soccer remains nationally ranked for the second-straight week, checking in at No. 19 in this week's United Soccer Coaches Top 25 Poll. The Aggies fell a single spot from their debut position of No. 18 in last week's poll after a 1-0-1 week which included a 6-0 win at Idaho State and a 1-1 draw versus Saint Mary's.

With 46 total points in the poll, Utah State is the highest-ranked non-P4 team in the country. League-mate Texas State is ranked No. 24 this week. The Aggies and the Bobcats will meet in the Pac-12 Conference opener next week on Thursday, Oct. 1, at Chuck & Gloria Bell Field. Should both teams remain ranked next week, this will be the first time in program history that Bell Field has held a ranked-versus-ranked matchup. 

Through nonconference play, Utah State has a 7-2-2 record and has outscored its opponents by a combined 28-8, the 12th best goal differential in the country. USU ranks eighth in the nation in total assists (31), 10th in total points (87) and 13th in total goals (28). 

Additionally, the Aggies are ranked No. 24 in this week's Top Drawer Soccer Poll, and are ranked No. 24 in RPI.
