Moderator Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Apparently, having the best record in the nation, with a 4-1-1 record against tournament teams means very little to the selection committee. In a tournament where gate revenue should play little or no role in determining who hosts games, the Zips were handed the #9 overall seed in the NCAA Men's Soccer Tournament today. #9 Assures them of a bye to the second round, and the right to host the winner of WVU / Robert Morris at Lee Jackson Field. However, it means from there on out they may be on the road, barring any upsets. This may include trips to both UConn and Maryland enroute to the College Cup. You might recall that neither UConn or Maryland won the Westfield Cup at the beginning of the season. Guess who did? FYI, Maryland is the #1 overall seed after losing their ACC championship match to Duke on Sunday. Indiana is the #3 seed after losing the Big Ten title match to Penn State.
