The defending national champion Notre Dame Irish fell out of the Soccer America Top 25 rankings released on Monday after losing to Marquette 3-2 in overtime on Sunday.
Marquette (10-2-0, 3-1 BIG EAST), which climbed to No. 13 in the rankings, needed just 18 seconds of extra time to defeat the Irish. With the loss, Notre Dame falls to 4-5-2 (1-2-1 BIG EAST), far off the pace of last year’s 21-2-2 run to a national championship.
With Sunday’s win over North Carolina, Virginia climbs to No. 7 in the Soccer America rankings, but still sits at No. 13 in the NSCAA national rankings. Here’s the full Soccer America list:
