KANSAS CITY, Mo. – With the conclusion of the 2025 season last weekend, the final United Soccer Coaches of the year was released Tuesday and saw the Colorado School of Mines women's soccer team close out as the 13th-ranked program in Division II.
 
The Orediggers (14-2-5) posted another strong season in 2025, winning their 11th Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament championship, making their 17th consecutive appearance in the NCAA Division II Women's Soccer Championship and hosting opening round action for the fourth consecutive season. Bella Campos and Natalie Rouse were both named All-Americans by the United Soccer Coaches and D2CCA earlier this month while Callie Fuhr, Allie Lundgren, Kaitlyn Manalili and Afton Rasco were named All-Region selections.
 
National champions Florida Tech (17-3-6) completed a remarkable run to the title and went from unranked to the #1 spot in the final polls followed by Cal Poly Pomona (18-3-3) in second. National runners-up Franklin Pierce (17-3-5) were ranked third followed by Washburn (14-4-6) and Dallas Baptist (20-2-0) to round out the top five.
 
UCCS (14-3-6), who advanced to the round of 16 on penalty kicks against the Orediggers finished the season ranked #11 while Colorado Mesa (14-4-2) fell from the Top 25 but still received votes in the final poll of the year.
 
Mines finishes ranked #13 in the nation for the second time in program history, the first time coming in the 2017 season. The Orediggers again spent time this season as the #1 ranked team in Division II, spending the first two weeks of the regular season atop the polls this year and claiming the top spot for the second time in program history. Nine times this season Mines was ranked inside the Top 10, and all time has spent 79 weeks ranked in that position. Dating back to week two of the 2022 season, the Orediggers have been ranked for 43 consecutive editions of the United Soccer Coaches Top 25, and never been ranked lower than 20th in that period while spending 28 weeks inside the Top 10 and eight weeks at #1.
