The "official" poll (coaches poll) should come out this afternoon.
Seems like maybe a match where the bench players came in and couldn't hold it against a Dayton team who probably had more starters in late in the match due to having played once already? Just guessing with limited info. Good to see two goals regardless.
I could be wrong, but doesn't there have to be 6 teams in a conference for the conference champ to get an automatic bid? Also, what happened to Georgia State and Georgia Southern who were both in the MAC for men's soccer last year?
Yes, this announcement was made a couple months ago. https://www.record-courier.com/story/sports/college/2021/05/07/mac-has-reinstated-its-postseason-tourney-schedule-2020-21/4988094001/
