KANSAS CITY, Mo. (9/30/25) – After a brief absence from the rankings, the Franklin Pierce University women's soccer team has reentered the United Soccer Coaches (USC) National Poll at No. 24 this week. The Ravens also hold the No. 3 position in the East Region rankings, standing as the highest-ranked Northeast 10 Conference program, with Saint Anselm following just behind at No. 4.
Franklin Pierce is the only NE10 team to be represented in the latest national poll. The recognition comes on the heels of a 6-1-0 start to the season, including a 2-0 week in conference play. The Ravens posted a 1-0 shutout victory on the road at Bentley before following with a 2-1 home win over Pace, two critical results that helped solidify their place among the region's best as they look to build on last year's run to the NCAA Division II Final Four.
The Ravens (currently in action at Bridgeport) will face a pivotal non-conference test on Friday, when they host No. 19 Florida Tech, who also rejoined the national rankings this week after receiving votes a week ago. Franklin Pierce will then celebrate its 2025 Senior Day on Sunday with an NE10 matchup against Assumption.
