There were several shakeups in the NSCAA/HendrickCars.com Top 25 this week, but one thing
remains constant: The Akron Zips have received every first-place vote since the Week 1 poll, and
they don't look to be relinquishing the top spot anytime soon after winning their first five games
by a combined score of 11-0.

The 2010 national title contenders in college soccer start and stops in the major power
conferences. Five of the last 10 champions have emerged from the ACC, and defending champion
Virginia will be eager to defend its title.
The Akron Zips removed any doubt about deserving their pre-season No. 1 ranking by completing a
two-game sweep of top ACC opposition with a 2-0 win at No. 3 Wake Forest on Sunday.
Junior striker Darlington Nagbe scored a goal and set up another to give the Zips defense all it
needed to work with.
The Akron Zips held on to the top spot in NSCAA/HendrickCars.com National Rankings for the third
straight week following a 2-0 victory over Bowling Green on Saturday. Virginia stays at No. 2
despite drawing with Duke, who fell to 11th in the rankings, which were released on Tuesday.

The Akron Zips have retained the top spot in the NSCAA/HendrickCars.com poll for the
fifth-consecutive week after a 4-0 demolition of former No. 2 Tulsa last Friday. Akron, which has
yet to concede a goal all season, again received all 25 first-place votes, and Tulsa dropped to
No.
