Women's Soccer Team Headed to the NCAA First Round

JMU will play Texas on Friday, Nov. 12, at Chapel Hill, N.C., in the first round of the NCAA Women's Soccer Tournament.

JMU, playing in the NCAA tournament for the 10th time in the past 16 years, will take a 14-6-1 record and an eight-game (7-0-1) unbeaten streak into Friday's game.  The Dukes earned the Colonial Athletic Association champion's automatic berth with a 2-0 win at 18th-ranked Hofstra in Sunday's CAA championship match. Hofstra also received an at-large bid.

Texas received an at-large bid.  The Longhorns have an 11-5-4 record after losing 1-0 to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Conference Tournament quarterfinals.

If the Dukes win Friday, they will play Sunday in the second round. I will be attending Friday's game so check back for an update!
