KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The St. Olaf College men's soccer team was ranked No. 3 in the end-of-season United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division III Men's Soccer Poll, as released on Tuesday.

St. Olaf (20-3-3) earned the second-highest year-end national ranking in program history – trailing only the No. 1 ranking of the 2023 national championship team – following its run to the national semifinals of the NCAA Division III Men's Soccer Championship. The Oles have been ranked in the final United Soccer Coaches poll of the season in four of the last five seasons and seven times overall.

In its third season under head coach Justin Oliver, St. Olaf tied its single-season wins record – set by the 2023 team – with the 20-3-3 record and advanced to the national semifinals for the second time in program history. The Oles won the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) regular-season title for the fourth time in five seasons with a 9-0-1 record before advancing to the championship game of the MIAC Playoffs and stringing together four NCAA Tournament wins to reach the Final Four, ultimately falling 2-1 to eventual national champion Tufts University.
