Go Petrels Athletics Update: Men’s soccer team ranked no. 3 in nation

The Oglethorpe men’s soccer team is up to a 4-0 start after beating Emory and Gordon over the weekend, and has earned its highest-ever national ranking, as the United Soccer Coaches placed them at no. 3 in the organization’s Division III top 25.

Getting out to a 3-0 start of its own is the women’s soccer team, who took down LaGrange and Averett in convincing fashion last week. Junior Medina Besic scored twice and added two assists to be named Southern Athletic Association Women’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Week.

At the single-day SAA Fall Preview, the men’s golf team finished fourth behind a strong performance from junior Kenny Park.

The volleyball team dropped two games in Indiana but beat host Franklin to maintain a winning record early in the year.
