SAN MARCOS, Texas - The Bobcats continue to set historic marks in the national rankings, making the jump to No. 15 nationally, announced by the Intercollegiate Women's Soccer Organization and United Soccer Coaches in the Week Four Top 25 Coaches Poll.
The program entered the national rankings for the first time in program history in the week two coaches poll at No. 21, following historic wins over Texas A&M and then-No. 6 Baylor. Back-to-back shutouts over East Texas A&M and Texas Southern led to week three's No. 17 ranking, before Texas State topped Rice, 4-3, by way of a final minute game-winner from
Victoria Meza after four second half goals led the team to tie its best start in program history (6-0-1) and on a six-game win streak.
Texas State remains the top-ranked program in the Pacific Region and the Pac-12 Conference's lone representative, while also holding the highest ranking among teams in the state of Texas.
The Bobcats look to extend its win streak on Thursday at former conference foe Louisiana and solidify its best start in program history. The match starts at 7:00 p.m. (CT), and the game will be streamed live on ESPN+.
