MANKATO, Minn. - The Minnesota State women's soccer team has climbed one spot to No. 7 in this week's USC Division II Poll.  

The Mavericks are off the back of a weekend sweep over Sioux Falls and SMSU that saw the offense score 11 total goals. Amara Smith scored four goals over the weekend and was named NSIC Offensive Player of the Week while Lauren McAlpine continued her unbelievable start. McAlpine and the Mavericks did not concede a goal this weekend, extending the shutout streak to eight games.
