Stanton Men’s Soccer Gains Ground in Latest NAIA Poll

The momentum keeps building for Stanton men's soccer. In the latest NAIA Men's Soccer Coaches' Top 25 Poll, the Elks earned 26 points, climbing from the 18 points they received just two weeks prior in their first-ever appearance.

It's another milestone moment for the program, which continues to impress in its debut season as a member of the NAIA. Stanton has steadily built a resume of strong performances, earning the respect of coaches and programs nationwide.

The poll—voted on by head coaches from across the country representing each NAIA conference and the Continental Athletic Conference (Independents)—highlights the Elks' growing national profile. Stanton stands as the only West Coast program with a significant presence in the poll, a clear indication of the team's progress and staying power.

While the Elks have yet to break into the official Top 25, their consistent performances and rising vote count signal that it may only be a matter of time. Stanton's climb up the rankings is no coincidence—it's the result of disciplined play, relentless effort, and a program determined to make noise on the national stage.
