The Oregon State Beavers Men's Soccer Team dropped out of the College Soccer Top 25 rankings after tying against the Michigan Wolverines, before defeating the Michigan State Spartans.
The Oregon State men's soccer team fell out of the College Soccer Top 25 after another mixed week of results. The Beavers, who had been ranked 19th headed into last weekend, had two games against Big 10 schools lined up. Last Friday they tied the Michigan Wolverines 1-1, before defeating the Michigan State Spartans 2-1 on Monday.
The Michigan match was a missed opportunity. The Beavers outshot the Wolverines 17-7 over the course of the game, but some sloppy defense play in the first 10 minutes gave Michigan an early lead. A shot from Wolverine Bryce Blevins was blocked, but Michigan's Beto Soto picked up the deflection and scored before OSU goalkeeper John Nicholson could react.Oregon State answered back in the 21st minute.
The win over Michigan State happened after the latest College Soccer Rankings had been finalized, and you have to wonder if a solid win on the road would have been enough to keep the Beavers in the Top 25. Regardless, the Beavers will have another chance to make their case to the poll voters this weekend, with UC Davis coming to Corvallis on Sunday.
