Indiana Earns National Seed, Hosts NCAA Tournament Sunday
11/18/2024 1:57:00 PM | Men's Soccer
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — It's tournament time, and Indiana men's soccer has earned a national seed for the 24th time in program history – extending its NCAA record. The No. 14-seeded Hoosiers received a first-round bye and will host its first match of the NCAA Tournament Sunday (Nov. 24) on Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium.
The NCAA announced the 48-team tournament field during its selection show Monday (Nov. 18). First round action will kick off Thursday (Nov. 21). The tournament will finish in the NCAA College Cup, set to return to WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina, December 13-16.
Indiana will host the winner of Thursday's first round match between Princeton and host Akron on Sunday. Sunday's kickoff time is set for 1 p.m ET. Fans can purchase tickets here. Admission is free for IU students.
IU is one of 16 programs to receive a national seed, its 10th in 11 seasons. 1995-1996, when four teams received seeds, was the last two-year period in which the Hoosiers did not earn a seed.
Despite a 2-3-4 start to the season, Indiana captured its second straight Big Ten regular season title – sharing with Ohio State – thanks to a 10-game unbeaten run. The Hoosiers recorded 32 goals in that 10-game stretch, scoring multiple goals in each match – the program's longest multi-goal stretch since 1997.
Indiana has won eight national championships, the nation's most since the program's inception in 1973. IU also owns NCAA records for consecutive tournament appearances (38), tournament victories (104), and appearances in the round of 16 (42), quarterfinal (29), final four (22) and title match (17).
