August 02, 2022 | Men's Soccer
The Bowling Green State University men's soccer team, after advancing to the NCAA Championships twice during the 2021 calendar year, will begin the 2022 season ranked in a national poll. The Falcons have checked in at number 25 in the United Soccer Coaches preseason rankings, released on Tuesday afternoon (Aug. 2).
BGSU is tied with Campbell for the 25th spot in the first 2022 poll. The Falcons ended the fall 2021 campaign ranked 27th (second team among 'also receiving votes') in the final United Soccer Coaches rankings. BGSU also ended the '21 season ranked in the final College Soccer News poll. The Falcons checked in at number 30 in the CSN season-ending poll for the second consecutive year.
The Falcons finished the fall 2021 season with an overall record of 11-6-3, and BGSUÂ advanced to the second round of the NCAA Championships. BG picked up a 1-0 victory at Louisville in the first round of the national tourney, marking the fifth NCAA Tournament victory in program history, and the first since 1997.
BGSU has a record of 36-20-7 over the last 63 matches, dating to late in the 2018 season. A total of 13 of the 20 setbacks in that time have come by a single goal.
BG will play three scrimmages to prepare for the 2022 season, beginning with a home exhibition vs. Dayton on Friday, Aug. 12. The regular-season opener is two weeks later (Friday, Aug. 26) at DePaul.
