ND Men's Soccer #1 Seed in NCAA Tournament

I know this won't get a lot of play, but it's cool to be the #1 seed. It certainly doesn't mean we'll win, but it's a nice sign of respect for the program and the schedule.

Yeah I saw that, they lost though in the semi-finals of the ACC tournament. I think they lost late in the season to IU as well. IU always seems to have a very good mens soccer program.

 

Aren't we NCAA defending champion?

 

Yes.

 

That'll get you respect.

 

Those guys and gals playing soccer at this time of the year are really playing cold weather. I'll bet that ball feels like a rock when kicked or headed.

 

Soccer, to me, has always been a winter season sport. It is in California, so I find it odd when the game is played earlier or later in the year. Heading the ball is really tough in the cold though.
