OXFORD, Miss. - On the strength of Sunday's win over Missouri, Ole Miss jumped to No. 21 in this week's national soccer rankings (Soccer Buzz). The Rebels have tied their longest winning streak to open a season with a 6-0 record.
Ole Miss' 2-1 overtime victory over then No. 25 Mizzou (NSCAA) marked the program's first ever victory over a top-25 foe. The Rebels have outscored their opposition 25-2 this season.
Ole Miss entered the national polls last week tied for 25th, becoming the first Division I team from the state of Mississippi to crack the top 25.
The Rebels make their first road trip of the season next weekend, traveling to Tallahassee, Fla., to take on Jacksonville and Florida State. Friday's JU match is set for 4:30 p.m. ET, while Sunday's bout with the Seminoles is at 2 p.m. ET.
The FSU faceoff is a rematch of last year's NCAA Tournament first round bout won by the Noles. The game will be televised regionally on the Sunshine Network.
