DOBBS FERRY, NY - The Mercy College men's soccer team is ranked No. 8 in this week's National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA)/adidas Northeast Regional Poll.
Mercy (5-5-2, 3-2-2 ECC) has gone 1-0-1 in its last two outings, defeating NYIT by a score of 2-1, on Saturday, before playing New Haven to a 1-1 tie on Tuesday.
