Lakeland, Fla. --- The Florida Southern men's soccer reached the top-ten in the latest United Soccer Coaches Division II Top 25 poll as the No. 9 team in the country, as announced on Tuesday afternoon (Oct. 6).

The Mocs have now been ranked for the third straight week, tying the 2018 squad for the second-longest in program history. The streak only needs to survive one more week to match the 1999 team for the longest time spent ranked at four consecutive weeks. FSC is also the only SSC team ranked inside the top-25 this week, with Embry-Riddle and Florida Tech only receiving votes.

The Mocs currently have an 9-1-1 record, good for the second most victories in all of D11, trailing only Cal. State - Los Angeles. After a victory over Saint Leo and a draw on the road at Rollins, the Mocs are still unbeaten midway through SSC play.

Florida Southern leads the SSC and is top-ten nationally in multiple offensive categories, including assists per game (2.27), goal differential (+19), points per game (7.91), the no. 6 scoring offense in the country (2.82), total goals (31) and total points (87). Individually, Tim Baierlein is tied for the lead for the most goals in the SSC with his nine, which is also tied for ninth in the nation. Darcy Moffat is tied for fourth in the nation with his seven total assists while both Baierlein and Moffat are in the top-25 in all of DII in total points (18 and 17).

The no. 9 Mocs start the second half of conference play against Palm Beach Atlantic to start their three-game home stand. First kick against the Sailfish is set for 7 p.m. on Saturday (Oct. 10) at Berend Field.
