Men's & Women's Soccer Teams Await NCAA Championship Fate
With weekend conference championships complete, Conference
Carolinas men's and women's soccer teams await their NCAA
championship fate as qualifying teams, pairings, and game locales
will be announced Monday by the NCAA.
On the men's side Coker and Lees-McRae have the best shot at at
advancing to NCAA tournament play. Coker is
currently ranked No. 1 in the NCAA Southeast Region poll,
while Lees-McCrae is No. 6. Limestone College also has an
outside chance to make the dance by losing to eventual
conference champion Coker in the tournament semifinals last
week, as they were also recently ranked No. 9 in the regional
poll. There is not an automatic conference qualifier for
men's soccer.
For the women, Lees-McRae secured the confernence automatic
qualifier taking the league's championship. The Bobcats took
a 4-2 penalty kick shootout result over Belmont Abbey in Saturday's
championship match.
It is now a wait and see game for when and
where teams will play in the NCAA regional tournament.
The top six teams advance to the tournament in the
Southeast Region for both the men & women. The
men's regionals will begin on Wednesday, Nov. 9 with the
opening round. The top two seeds will receive a bye until the first
round starting Friday, Nov. 11. For the women, first and
second round play is November 11th & 13th.
Fans can watch the NCAA selection show live online on Monday,
Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. on NCAA.com.
