In case you missed it, here's how some of the postseason action turned out for some of the fall sports teams in D-II South Nation.
Getting things underway on the soccer field, both University of West Florida squads played for the opportunity to advance to the national quarterfinals, with the men's team playing in the NCAA Division II soccer version of the "Elite Eight" for the first time ever, as the Argonauts downed Lynn University 2-1 in the South Regional final last Sunday. The Argos (19-1-2) will host Queens University (N.C.) in Saturday's quarterfinal round match at 4 p.m. CST. As for the UWF women, however, it was anything but a happy ending, as the Argonauts fell to nationally fifth-ranked Tampa 2-0. The loss snapped an 11-match unbeaten streak for West Florida, ending its season with 15-3-3 mark.
The news wasn't all bad for UWF athletics, though, as the volleyball team, in its first-ever NCAA
tournament appearance, upset second-seeded Washburn in a three-game sweep (30-25, 30-27, 30-25) in the South Central Regional Thursday. The seventh-seeded Argos will face third-seeded Central Missouri State in Friday's second round action at Kirksville, Mo. Friday.
In other volleyball postseason action, the Lady Pacers of USC Aiken won the Peach Belt Conference tournament over Armstrong Atlantic State last Saturday, but saw their run in the NCAA tournament come to an abrupt end at 28-7, as Florida Gulf Coast swept USCA 3-0. FGCU is in its final season of NCAA Division II action, and will join former PBC members Kennesaw State, North Florida, and USC Upstate in the NCAA Division I Atlantic Sun Conference in 2007.
