NCAA men's soccer rankings: Cardinal rule
Six days until the 48-team NCAA men's tournament is unveiled, and the Louisville Cardinals remain atop the National Soccer Coaches Association of America rankings. The program was founded in 1984, and until 2007, they had never advanced to the NCAA tournament. Last year, the Cardinals were eliminated in the first round by Indiana. Their coach, Ken Lolla, arrived four years ago from No. 2 Akron, which he guided for 13 seasons. The Cardinals will make an appearance at Red Bull Arena later this week for the final stages of the Big East tournament.
