The Importance of These Road Games

Both the men’s and women’s soccer teams need to perform well in these final road games of the regular season. The men’s team is currently fighting for an NCAA Tournament berth, while the women’s team is looking to improve its seeding for the ACC tournament. The men’s team is currently ninth in the ACC standings, and only the top eight teams make the ACC tournament. The Eagles have four games remaining in the regular season, and they need to win at least three of them to have a chance at making the tournament. The women’s team is currently third in the ACC standings, and they are looking to improve their seeding for the ACC tournament. The top four teams in the ACC standings receive a bye in the first round of the tournament, and the Eagles would like to avoid having to play in the first round.
