It takes a coach with some real perspective not to decry a four-spot drop in the polls, any polls, after a successful week.
The Pima men’s soccer team didn’t fall off a cliff last week in its two season-opening contests. A 4-2 win over South Mountain Community College put them at 1-0, and the Aztecs followed that up with a respectable draw on a night with terrible weather on the road at Phoenix College.
And for that, that 1-0-1 start, they dropped from No. 7 to No. 11 in the NJCAA rankings.
Head coach Dave Cosgrove has seen enough over his nearly two decades at the helm of the Aztecs that this doesn’t surprise him, and he joined the Daily Star to talk about Pima’s start, its foundation and its future.
