IU Makes 34th-Straight NCAA Tournament, 45th Overall
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The NCAA announced the 36-team tournament field for the 2020-21 NCAA Men's Soccer Championships on Monday afternoon. The tournament will begin on April 29 and conclude with the national championship match on May 17 with all matches played in Cary, N.C. and the surrounding areas.
The No. 3-ranked Indiana men's soccer program (9-1-1) earned the third overall seed and a first-round bye. The Hoosiers will await the winner of Milwaukee (8-4-0) and St. Francis Brooklyn (5-1-2) in the first round of action.
"We are really pleased that we were able to receive the No. 3 seed," head coach Todd Yeagley said. "I think that reflects the body of work that the team put together. It is very well deserved. Now, we will look forward to the challenge of whoever we play in our first game. We are just excited to be in the field and be honored with the third seed."
The committee intends to provide some opportunity for family and friends to attend the championships. They will follow the NCAA Medical Advisory Group guidelines, and the maximum allowable capacity will be 25%. Ticket information can be found here.
The berth for the Hoosiers is the team's 34th-straight bid to the NCAA Tournament and the 45th overall in program history. The extended streak marks the longest active streak in the country.
Since the NCAA began its current seeding format in 2003, the Hoosiers have earned a top-16 seed in 16 of the 18 tournaments and a top-8 seed 11 times. IU has appeared in 20 College Cups, which leads all Division I teams, and won its eighth national title in 2012.
The Hoosiers enter the NCAA Tournament with an overall record of 9-1-1 and winners of the Big Ten regular season and tournament titles for the third-straight season, the longest-streak in the Big Ten Conference since the Hoosiers claimed an unprecedented four-consecutive doubles from 1996-99.
The regular season title marked the 17th in program history, while the tournament crown is the 15th won by IU. The championship double marked the 11th time in the storied history of Indiana men's soccer.
Individually, the Hoosier regular season was punctuated with a multitude of postseason Big Ten awards. Sophomore forward Victor Bezerra was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year, while sophomore keeper Roman Celentano collected Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year accolades. The dynamic duo was joined by redshirt senior defender Spencer Glass on the All-Big Ten First Team. Sophomore midfielder Herbert Endeley and redshirt sophomore defender Daniel Munie were each granted spots on the second team. Finally, head coach Todd Yeagley picked up his third-straight Big Ten Coach of the Year honor.
IU posted a mark of 1-0-1 against NCAA Tournament teams in this abbreviated, conference-only season. The lone victory came over Maryland, while the Hoosiers netted a draw against No. 14 Penn State.
