For the fifth time in program history, the Florida Southern College women's soccer team has made the NCAA postseason tournament. The Moccasins earned an at-large bid, taking the No. 6 seed in the South Region, to face No. 3 seed Florida Tech this weekend in the first round.
Â
In FSC's first NCAA regional appearance since 2022, the Mocs will travel to Alabama, where the University of Montevallo will host the first and second rounds of NCAA matchups as the No. 2 seed.
Â
The Moccasins earned the at-large selection after a stellar first season for head coach
Maddi Moon. FSC went 7-2-8 overall in Coach Moon's first year, ranking among the best in the Sunshine State Conference and NCAA in goals against and shutouts. Florida Southern had three named All-SSC players,
Allie Draper, Carli Proctor, and
Carly Brodsky, making the SSC tournament before tonight's NCAA selection.
Â
Florida Southern has previously made the NCAA tournament four times, most recently in 2022 when the Mocs beat Montevallo in the first round, the first NCAA postseason win for the program. FSC first made the NCAA in 2008, with three straight years making the postseason. The Mocs lost in the first round of those games from 2008-2010 before the 2022 appearance.
Â
The South Regional will open action on Friday, Nov. 13, at 3 p.m. at the Varsity Soccer Field on the campus of Montevallo. The winner of that matchup will take on the No. 2 seed Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 15. The winner of the second round will advance to take on the winner of the other side of the South Regional bracket, featuring Nova Southeastern University, Eckerd College, and Lee University. Check FSCMocs.com later in the week for more details and a full preview of matchups.
