Two Syracuse soccer players have been recognized among the best in the country.
On Wednesday, TopDrawerSoccer.com [7] included defender Jordan Murrell [8] and goalkeeper Alex Bono [8] on its midseason list of the Top 100 college men's soccer players. Murrell checked in at No. 49, while Bono vaulted all the way to No. 2.
Both players have been standouts for the SU defense, which is tied for the national lead with 10 shutout victories.
Bono has the third-best goals-against average (0.39) in the country and has upped his career shutout total to 28 this season.
Murrell has scored two goals and added six assists in 2014. His 19 career helpers are the most ever for an Orange back.
UCLA midfielder Leo Stolz was ranked atop the list.
