IRVINE, Calif. - After a seventh straight victory without allowing a single goal, the nationally-ranked Concordia women's soccer team climbed two more spots to again achieve its highest national ranking in the NCAA DII Era.

Concordia comes in at No. 12 in this week's United Soccer Coaches Top 25 poll.  The Golden Eagles were No. 14 last week and began the season ranked No. 17 in the Preseason Poll for DII programs.

During this impressive run, CUI has defeated the defending national champions (Western Washington) by a count of 4-0 and also won its first two home conference games by 1-0 margins.

Olivia Ocampo converted a penalty kick in each of CUI's most recent results to help her squad top Point Loma and Biola in late September.  Recently named PacWest Defenders of the Week Riley Urquiza and Briana Guerra helped organize the back line to maintain a clean sheet against Biola this past Wednesday.

For the second straight week. the Golden Eagles held their No. 2 ranking in the west regional rankings as well. Hawai'i Hilo is ranked first in the regional rankings and is No. 6 nationally in the US Coaches Poll.

Western Oregon (No. 24) from the GNAC is also in the Top 25.
