McDonogh boys, Spalding girls drop in national polls
Turns out the McDonogh boys soccer team had a short run as the nation's No. 1 team.
After taking over the top spot in the ESPN Rise and NSCAA polls last week -- the first time the program has ever reached No. 1 in either -- the Eagles were upset, 2-1, by Mount St. Joseph on Friday.
McDonogh dropped to 13th in the ESPN poll and 17th in the NSCAA. Today's game against visiting Archbishop Curley, set for 4 p.m. at McDonogh, was postponed until tomorrow with the game time set for 4:15.
The Archbishop Spalding girls also were ranked No. 1 in the NSCAA, but dropped to fourth after a scoreless tie against Good Counsel last week. The Cavaliers are No. 10 in the ESPN rankings.
Comments
McDonogh's boy's soccer team reached #1 in the country back in 2004 in the NSCAA rankings. We defeated St Benedicts 3-1 on a Friday afternoon when they were ranked #1 and we(McD) were #3 then went on to lose the next morning to Curley 1-0.
