INDIANAPOLIS --- The Tusculum College Women's soccer team dropped four spots and is listed fifth in this week's NCAA Division II Southeast Region rankings. The ranking only includes matches played through last Sunday and doesn't include Tusculum's 4-1 win over Armstrong Atlantic State, who is No. 1 in this week's rankings.

Following AASU in this week's poll are Carson-Newman, Columbus State, Catawba, Tusculum, Newberry, Clayton State, Belmont Abbey, Lander and Georgia College & State University.

There will be three automatic berths given to the champions of the three conferences in the Southeast Region along with three at-large berths. The conferences in the Southeast Region include the South Atlantic Conference, Peach Belt Conference and Conference Carolinas.

Tusculum (10-5) returns to action on Sunday when the Pioneers travel to Mount Olive College for a 3 p.m. match.
