NEW ORLEANS – Suffolk women's soccer appeared ninth in the East in the week 5 edition of the U.S. Track & Field Cross Country Coaches Association regional rankings, the national organization unveiled.
The Rams held onto ninth for the third straight week that they earned after a third-place performance at the Bowdoin Invitational Sept. 24.
Suffolk has been featured in five of the six weekly regional polls by the USTFCCCA this season. Overall, the blue-and-gold has been ranked regional five times this season and six times overall.
The USTFCCCA Regional Cross Country Coaches' Rankings are determined subjectively by a single member coach in each respective region. The regional representative is tasked with weighing returning teams' strengths with current season results, when applicable, in determining a rank-order by squad potential. Only USTFCCCA member programs are eligible to receive a ranking. The weekly regional ranking by the USTFCCCA began in 2010.
Suffolk returns to action this weekend at the Suffolk Invitational Saturday, Oct. 15. The Rams own event, that is scheduled to start at 1:30 p.m. with the women's championship 6k, will also serve as a head-to-head race with Emerson, the Battle for Boston Commons.
