One Day to Go!

We are getting ready for the 2012 NCCS National Soccer Championships!

In the Men's Championship, defending champion Weber State is back to defend their title. The only other semifinalist back to try and take the title away is Minnesota. Of the 16 playoff teams last year only 9 teams are back to challenge Weber State. Will this clear the way for an experienced Weber State team or will another team step up and claim a title?

In the Women's Championship, 5 time defending champions UCSB are back to defend their title. Is there anyone who can end their dynastic reign? 10 teams who qualified for the knockout stage last year are back to challenge UCSB including finalist Cal Poly and semifinalists Texas and Virginia Tech. Will the dynasty end or will UCSB win one for the other hand?

In the Men's Open, there will be a new open champion as UC-San Diego is not back. Who will win? Texas "B" is back to challenge for the crown as returning finalists. Missouri who ended up as national finalist last year may be another challenger. The field is wide open to determine our next men's open champion.

In the Women's Open, Missouri is back to defend their championship. Illinois will challenge this year as a returning semifinalist. James Madison, Salt Lake Community College, Colorado "Black" and Oregon are returning quarterfinalists. However, JMU and Salt Lake CC share a pool with Illinois and only 2 will advance. This promises to be a wonderful challenge for all teams in this division to become the Women's Open Champion.

It all starts on Thursday.
