Fall Sports Update--Soccer
Like the old saying goes, "it's late, but better late than never".
As the regular season winds down, and conference tournament play heats up, let's take a brief at how the postseason pairings are shaping up in soccer.
Gulf South Women: It's been a two-team race between West Florida (7-0 GSC) and Montevallo (6-0-1 GSC) all season long. It all comes down to one match on Friday, Oct. 31, between the Falcons and the Argonauts, who are currently ranked No. 2 in the most recent National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) poll.
Gulf South Men: The race for the GSC men's regular season title also has involved UWF and UM, as the Falcons will put their perfect 5-0 conference mark on the line against the Argonauts, who are ranked 18th in the NSCAA poll. Christian Brothers is 4-1 in GSC games, with one match remaining against Alabama-Huntsville (Oct. 29).
Peach Belt Women: The PBC is well represented in the national ranking, with Columbus State ranked fourth, UNC Pembroke ninth, and Georgia College & State University 21st. A win over either Georgia Southwestern State or GC&SU would all but wrap up the top seed for the upcoming PBC tournament.
Peach Belt Men: Francis Marion and Lander both carry identical 4-0-1 PBC records into Saturday's regular season finale, with the winner earning the top seed in next week's conference tournament. A third team, Clayton State, completed conference play unbeaten, at 3-0-3.
