CORVALLIS – The Oregon State men's soccer team has reached new heights in the rankings this week, coming in at No. 6 in the Top Drawer Soccer Poll, which was released today. The Beavers are also ranked ninth in the College Soccer News Top 30.
Oregon State earned a pair of wins this week, as it moved to 5-0, the best start in school history. The Beavers opened the weekend with a 3-2 win over Duquesne on Friday night, and followed that up with a 2-0 win over Cornell on Sunday. With the wins, OSU won the Duquesne Invitational.
The Beavers' success in the standings has been met with individual awards. Sophomore Timmy Mueller has been named to the College Soccer News National Team of the Week, after scoring three goals over the weekend. The forward netted the game-winner against Duquesne in the 89th minute, and then netted a pair against Cornell.
Mueller was also named the Duquesne Invitational Tournament MVP for his efforts. Fellow sophomore Jordan Jones earned All-Tournament team recognition after netting a pair of goals against Duquesne. Senior Mikhail Doholis and redshirt-freshman CJ Brill also made the All-Tournament squad.
The NSCAA Coaches' Poll and Top Drawer Soccer Team of the Week will be released on Tuesday.
The Beavers return to action Thursday at Portland.
