The University of Virginia Cavaliers suffered their first loss of the season, ending their four-week reign at the top of the NCAA Division I women’s soccer national rankings.

No. 3 Virginia fell to No. 2 Stanford 2-1 in a road match in Palo Alto, California. Stanford built a solid two-goal lead in the first half, while Virginia scored in the second but couldn’t find the equalizer. The Cardinal are climbing back toward the top, where they haven’t been since Week 3.

No. 1 Notre Dame (12-0-1) extended its unbeaten season with wins over Florida State (4-2) and SMU (3-0). The Fighting Irish continue to play high-tempo, attacking soccer, averaging 3.54 goals per game compared with just one from their opponents.

No. 4 Tennessee held its top-five spot for another week, while Iowa joined the group at No. 5. Last week’s fifth-ranked team, Florida State—now No. 7—suffered its first loss of the season at the hands of Notre Dame.
