SPRINGFIELD – The Missouri State men's soccer team earned a top-10 ranking, coming in at No. 10 in the College Soccer News 2020 Preseason Top 30 National Poll that was released today (Sept. 2).
 
The Bears round out the top third of the poll which features Georgetown, who won the 2019 NCAA Championship, as the publication's preseason favorite.  Loyola joins MSU as the two Missouri Valley Conference teams to receive votes on the preseason list.

Missouri State is coming off a program-best 18-1-1 record, highlighted by winning its first-ever NCAA Men's Soccer Tournament match with a 1-0 result against Denver on Nov. 21, 2019 before falling to UCF in the second round in the Bears' only loss of the year.
