Eight Teams Qualify For CAA Women's Soccer Championship
The eight-team field for the 2022 CAA Women's Soccer Championship presented by Primis has been determined, and quarterfinal competition will begin Thursday.
Stony Brook, William & Mary and Hofstra clinched postseason berths on the regular season's final day to join Monmouth, Drexel, Northeastern, Elon and Towson in the eight-team field for the 2022 Colonial Athletic Association Women's Soccer Championship presented by Primis,
The tournament will begin Thursday, with quarterfinal action hosted by Monmouth and Drexel.
Monmouth won the CAA regular-season title in its inaugural campaign in the league with a 2-1 win over Northeastern in New Jersey on Sunday.
The Hawks will face defending CAA champion Hofstra in Thursday's quarterfinals, after the Pride qualified for the field thanks to their head-to-head win over UNCW last week.
Monmouth and Hofstra recorded a 1-1 draw in their regular-season meeting Sept. 29.
The other matchup at Monmouth will feature a rematch of a game played on the season's final day, as Elon will be matched up with Towson in the 4/5 contest.
The teams played to a scoreless draw Sunday afternoon to both finish the regular season at 16 points.
Philadelphia will be home to the other opening-weekend pod after Drexel's 2-1 victory on Sunday propelled the Dragons into the No. 2 seed via tiebreaker over Northeastern.
Needed 3 games to go our way...
