Now, national voters are catching on to the Terriers as well.
Coach Mike Young’s Wofford team was ranked in The Associated Press Top 25 poll for the first time on Monday, garnering enough votes from around the country to rank No. 24 in the nation.
“It’s a great day for our program and a great day for Wofford College,” said Young. “We’re awfully happy about it.”
The Terriers, 24-4 overall and 16-0 in the SoCon, have not lost a game since Dec. 19, winning 15 in a row. Their four losses are all against Power Five teams: North Carolina, Kansas, Oklahoma and Mississippi State, and their wins include a 20-point blowout at South Carolina.
