The Milwaukee women’s soccer team is ninth in the latest Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) released by the NCAA Wednesday.
The Panthers have been nationally ranked for much of the season and improved their RPI standing one spot over the No. 10 rating they had in the first RPI released last week.
Milwaukee also features some nationally-ranked players, as the NCAA released updated statistical rankings earlier this week.
- Sarah Hagen has 15 goals and 34 points in 12 games this season. She leads the league and is No. 2 in both goals per game (1.25) and points per game (2.83). Her eight game-winning goals, already a school record, are two more than any other player in the country. Her 15 goals are tied for third nationally and her 34 points are fourth.
- Keara Thompson shares the league lead with eight assists. She is tied for sixth in the nation for total assists and is tied for seventh in assists per game (0.67).
- Jamie Forbes leads the league in goals against average (0.65), save percentage (.860) and shutouts (6). Her GAA is 29th and save percentage is 34th.
- As a team, Milwaukee’s winning percentage of .917 is sixth in the country, while the Panthers are also 24th in save percentage (.871), 27th in goals against average (0.65), 32nd in goals per game (2.33) and 39th in shutout percentage (0.5).
The Panthers are in action today, hosting Valparaiso at 7 p.m. at Engelmann Stadium.
