Though the record is 5-6-2, it was a solid year for Polk State with a 1-1 draw against 2-time reigning national champ Daytona State College and its first road win over Eastern Florida State College in 16 years. The Eagles were also nationally ranked for the first time since 2022.
Polk State Soccer’s championship dreams came to an end on Thursday night as the Eagles were defeated by top-seeded Miami Dade College in the FCSAA Tournament semifinals, 5-0.
