The weekly poll administered by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America landed the Garnet in the 23rd slot among all Division III women’s soccer programs.
Swarthmore blanked Albright in the final of the Swarthmore Kick Classic on Sunday by a score of 2-0. The Garnet reached the final on the strength of a 6-1 victory against Baptist Bible on Saturday.
Laura Bolger ’11, Emily Coleman ’12, Maggie DeLorme ’10 and Taylor Rhodes ’10 were named to the All-Tournament Team for the Garnet.
