SBC Soccer Tourney Thread

Mean Green Matt · October 28, 2012

It all starts up Wednesday. The most successful program in NT history will look to leave the Sun Belt on top, following up on their regular season championship (regardless of what the MTSU fighting unicorns say). The tourney will be hosted in Mobile by South Alabama.

Here is the tourney bracket.

Wednesday (all times CT):

Game 1 - #1 North Texas vs. #8 Florida Atlantic - 10:00am

Game 2 - #4 Western Kentucky vs. #5 Arkansas State - 1:00pm

Game 3 - #3 Florida International vs. #6 Troy - 4:00pm

Game 4 - #2 Middle Tennessee vs. #7 South Alabama (HOST) - 7:00pm

Friday:

Game 5: Game 1 winner vs. Game 2 winner - 4:00pm

Game 6: Game 3 winner vs. Game 4 winner - 7:00pm

Sunday:

Game 7 - Game 5 Winner vs. Game 6 Winner - 1:00pm

The only team to beat NT this year was WKU (in Bowling Green). That would be a semifinal matchup. The only team to tie NT was FIU (1-1 in Denton), and those two teams would not face until the final. No one outside of the top four seeds worries me, but it is soccer, so anything can happen.

Go Mean Green!

2nd half. Both teams struggling to get the ball in a position for the forwards to make plays. I think for FAU this is due to strong midfield play by UNT. For UNT, I would guess it's just a more conservative gameplan.

On the other side of the bracket, #3 FIU beats #6 Troy 20- to advance to the semifinals.

Also on the other side of the bracket, #2 MTSU is up 1-0 on #7 USA nearing halftime.

Congrats ladies...now go kick some WKU rear ends...Do it! You know you can...we know you can!

Mean Green Matt · November 1, 2012

MTSU has taken a 2-0 lead over USA....there are about 30 minutes left, but for now, it looks as though the top four seeds are going to advance.

Mean Green Matt · November 1, 2012

Host South Alabama gets a goal back but can't find the equalizer and falls to MTSU 2-1. Semifinals set for Friday:

4:00pm - #1 North Texas vs. #4 Western Kentucky (WKU won regular season matchup 2-0 @ WKU)

7:00pm - #2 Middle Tennessee vs. #3 Florida International (MTSU won 3-1 @ FIU)

According to the NT soccer Facebook page, the team enjoyed a relaxing day at the beach today. They should be relaxed and ready to take care of business tomorrow. Go Mean Green!

Good Luck Today Ladies

In previous years, the tourney was set up like that where the only off day was between the semifinals and final. The athletic department must not have gotten the memo...either that or the team skipped out on the game to go to the beach.
