NAIA women's soccer coaches poll of Sept. 17, 2025

        NEW ORLEANS — For the 11th consecutive time, Xavier University of Louisiana women's soccer was among "others receiving votes" in the NAIA coaches poll announced Wednesday — 32nd with 19 points.
        Three consecutive XULA road losses to top-25 opponents resulted in a drop of two places and 20 points from the Sept. 3 poll.
        XULA is the first Red River Athletic Conference team to receive votes in 11 consecutive polls since former member St. Thomas (Texas), which did it 12 times over 2017 and 2018.
