Men's soccer 4th in latest poll

Wayland Baptist lost its No. 1 ranking as a result of its first setback of the season, but the Pioneers didn't slip far in the NAIA Men's Soccer Coaches' Top 25. WBU is now No. 4.
 
The defending national champion Pioneers had been a near unanimous No. 1 in the preseason and first regular-season polls of the season, earning 15 of 18 first-place votes.
 
But Wayland – after winning its first three matches of the season by a combined score of 9-0 – lost to then No. 20 Columbia, Mo., by a score of 2-1 at a neutral site in Tulsa, Okla. Columbia jumped up four places to No. 16 in this week's poll.
 
The Pioneers return to action for the first time since their loss to Columbia when they host Our Lady of the Lake at 2 p.m. Wednesday at Hilliard Field. Like Wayland, the Saints sport a 3-1 record.
 
After the men's match, the WBU women host University of the Southwest (N.M.) beginning at 5 p.m. USW is coached by former Pioneer soccer player D'Angelo Garcia, a native of Artesia, N.M., who played at WBU for four years through the 2016 season.

The WBU women (3-1-1), who got off to their best start in program history after four matches, also will be looking to avenge their first loss of the season, 2-1 to Friends, Kan.
