Despite a pair of close results (a win and a draw), but Maryland maintained their undefeated record and held on to the #1 spot in the TopDrawerSoccer.com Men’s College Soccer Tournament National 48 Ranking.

The ranking is an effort to project the postseason men's college soccer NCAA Tournament field of 48 each week, including the automatic qualifiers from every DI conference. The update is posted after reviewing all results from the previous week.

Major upsets were few and far between, with Marquette dropping out of the top 5 after a loss and a draw against #6 Notre Dame last week. Rounding out the top 5 is Akron, North Carolina, Connecticut and UCLA. New teams include Kentucky and Cleveland State.

The complete rankings can be seen here.

Senior forward Ryan Finley earned player of the week awards and continues to play extremely well off the bench for the Irish. Playing two games against Marquette to wrap up the season, Finley scored two goals in the second half to lead the Irish to a 3-1 win, and in the other game of the week, scored the tying goal to secure a 1-1 draw.
