SAN DIEGO — San Diego men's soccer is back in the United Soccer Coaches Division I Top 25, sharing the No. 25 spot with UCLA in the poll released Tuesday.

The Toreros (9-4-3, 4-1-2 WCC) return to the rankings for the first time since Oct. 6, when they also held a share of No. 25. San Diego had received votes in each of the previous two polls.

The return follows a 4-2 win at Seattle U on Saturday that clinched the Toreros a spot in the inaugural WCC Men's Soccer Tournament. Steven Ramirez scored twice and set up Taj Eagleston's 79th-minute goal, Iain Wagner also scored and San Diego outshot the Redhawks 26-8 at Championship Field. The four-team tournament runs Nov. 11-14, and its champion earns the WCC's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

Saturday's result was San Diego's third straight WCC win, following a 3-0 victory at Pacific on Oct. 17 and a 3-1 home win over Santa Clara on Oct. 21. The Toreros outscored the three opponents 10-3.

Ramirez leads the team with nine goals this season, one more than he scored in all of 2025. Goalkeeper Lucca Adams, the 2025 WCC Goalkeeper of the Year, is 9-4-3 in net this season.

The Toreros opened the season at No. 18 and climbed to No. 2 on Aug. 25, their best ranking ever in the coaches poll. That jump followed a 2-0 opening week that included a 2-1 win at then-No. 1 Washington.
