MORROW, Ga. – September 26, 2007 – This week’s latest NSCAA/Adidas Top 25 Division II national poll for men’s soccer was released on Tuesday, and the Clayton State Lakers are in the Top 25 for a fourth straight week.

After recording a two-game split last week, Clayton State is ranked 23rd in the latest Top 25 poll. That’s a nine-spot drop from last week’s ranking of 14th in the nation. Clayton State opened the week with a 2-0 shutout victory over Erskine on Wednesday, but stumbled on Saturday, dropping a 3-1 decision at USC-Aiken.

Clayton State is one of two teams from the Peach Belt Conference ranked this week in the Division II Top 25. Lander also dropped nine spots this week from seventh to 16th after also splitting its two games for the week.

In addition to the Division II Top 25, Clayton State also slipped one spot in this week’s Division II Southeast Region poll. The Lakers are now ranked third in the region behind Lander and Lees-McRae, which is ranked seventh in the nation.

Clayton State is back in action on Saturday, playing host to UNC-Pembroke at 7 p.m. at Laker Field.
