MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The University of Memphis women's soccer squad continues its trek to the next level as the squad attained the highest ranking in program history on Tuesday. The National Soccer Coaches Association of America top-25 poll was released with the Lady Tigers ranked 11th.

Ranked No. 11 in the poll, the U of M breaks the previous highest ranking in the NSCAA poll of 15th set in the release of the week two poll. Off to a program-best 7-0 start, the Lady Tigers currently are tied for the longest winning streak in program history.

Memphis rounds out the non-conference slate with a match at Vanderbilt (5-1-0) on Thursday. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. in Nashville, Tenn.
