SU men's soccer selected to host first and second round NCAA games
INDIANAPOLIS – Fresh off its Capital Athletic Conference championship the Salisbury University men's soccer team learned of its NCAA tournament fate on Monday as the selection committee selected SU as one of the first and second round hosts in the 2007 NCAA Division III championships.

Salisbury (15-4-1) will face Old Westbury (12-3-1) in the first round on Saturday, November 10, at 11 a.m. at the SU Soccer Complex. Forty minutes after the completion of that game the second first round game between Muhlenberg (12-4) and Virginia Wesleyan (16-3) will take place at SU. The two winners of these first round games will meet in Sunday’s second round game at the SU Soccer Complex.

The Sea Gulls will make their seventh NCAA tournament appearance in nine years and first since 2005. Salisbury was a national semifinalist four seasons ago in 2004. SU has also reached the national quarterfinals in 1999 and 2003. In the previous six appearances in the NCAA tournament SU has posted a 5-6-3 record.

Old Westbury is making it's first-ever appearance in the NCAA tournament. The Panthers, from the Skyline Conference, were one of 37 teams to win their respective conference and earn an automatic bid into the championships. Virginia Wesleyan, from the Old Dominion Athletic Conference, is making its third straight NCAA appearance and 14th overall in program history. The Marlins earned a Pool C at-large bid. Muhlenberg, from the Centennial Conference, also earned a Pool C at-large bid as the Mules will make the program's 11th appearance in the NCAA tournament.

The winner of the second round game will advance to the NCAA sectionals the following weekend. The national semifinals (November 23) and national championship (November 24) will be played in Orlando, Fla., at the Walt Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex.
