KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Despite a 1-0-1 week, the Tiffin University men's soccer team dropped nine spots to No. 25 in this week's United Soccer Coaches (USC) national rankings. 

The Dragons have two huge road contests this week, playing at Kentucky Wesleyan on Thursday and at Cedarville on Saturday. Tiffin is also ranked third in the Midwest Region rankings. 

Redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Nick Cherry is the reigning G-MAC Men's Soccer Defensive Athlete of the Week after posting two clean sheets last week with nine saves, marking the third time so far this season that a TU men's soccer player has been recognized as the conference's athlete of the week. 

United Soccer Coaches college rankings, released every Tuesday afternoon during the regular season, are an indicator of the week-to-week status of qualified programs and in no way should be used as a guide or indicator of eligibility for championship selection.
