INDIANAPOLIS --- The Lees-McRae College
men’s soccer team is headed to the NCAA Division II
Tournament for the fourth straight year, announced NCAA officials
Monday with the release of the 32-team field.
Lees-McRae (13-4-3), the reigning national runner-up, is the
sixth seed in the Southeast Region and will face third-seeded and
fourth-ranked Clayton State University (16-3), who are returning to
the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2007. The Bobcats
carry a four-match unbeaten streak into the tournament after
claiming both the Conference Carolinas regular season and

State in the second round.
