Hey guys! I'm planning to apply to colleges soon and I'm pretty into soccer. I'd really like to continue playing in college, but I know I'm not D1 material. Does anyone know where I can find a reliable ranking of men's D3 soccer teams?
Hey there! To find reliable rankings of men's D3 soccer teams, I'd suggest checking out the United Soccer Coaches website. They release a Top 25 poll for D3 men's soccer throughout the season, and you can find the latest rankings and historical rankings as well. Here's the link to their website: https://unitedsoccercoaches.org/rankings/college-rankings/
Additionally, you might want to look at the NCAA D3 soccer championship history to see which teams have performed well in recent years. This can give you a sense of the top D3 soccer programs over time. Here's the link to the NCAA Championship history: https://www.ncaa.com/history/soccer-men/d3
Remember that it's also important to consider factors beyond a team's ranking, like the college's academics, location, and overall environment. Make sure you're interested in the schools you're applying to for more than just their soccer program. Good luck with the college application process and continuing your soccer journey at the collegiate level!
