The University of Alabama women's soccer team is the new No. 1. The team started the season unranked. ⚽🐘 “Pretty incredible,” Tide coach Wes Hart said. “I think my first year here in 2015, we ended that season ranked 213th in the RPI.'
Forward Riley Mattingly Parker and midfielder Felicia Knox celebrate with fans. Alabama athletics has a new No. 1 team in the country. Its women’s soccer program, led by head coach Wes Hart, earned its first-ever top ranking. The Crimson Tide is No. 1 team on the NCAA ratings power index, overtaking UCLA this past weekend.
Alabama is in a dream season, playing an aggressive attack and well-balanced defense. It’s scoring three goals a game while attempting more than twice the shots it allows . The Tide is on a 10-game winning streak and hasn’t lost since Aug. 21 at Miami. “Pretty incredible,” Hart said. “I think my first year here in 2015, we ended that season ranked 213th in the RPI. ... There is a light at the end of the tunnel, right? Pretty bleak early on but we knew if we stayed true to what we are and what we believed in that we could get there. By no means have I thought we’ve arrived. We still have to keep growing as a program. It is satisfying to an extent.”Alabama started the season unranked and didn’t receive votes in the coaches poll.
Grad-student forward Riley Parker Mattingly has scored a team-high 11 goals, four of which secured Tide victories. Junior midfielder Felicia Knox has six of her 14 assists in SEC play. The Crimson Tide travel to Mississippi State on Thursday. The SEC tournament will be in Pensacola, Fla., from Oct. 31 to Nov. 6. The field of play for the NCAA tournament is revealed on Nov. 7.
