NCAA men’s soccer tournament: Reigning champ Georgetown seeded eighth

The Georgetown men’s soccer team’s only loss of the season came in Saturday’s Big East final, but it was enough to drop the reigning national champions to the No. 8 seed in the NCAA tournament.

The Hoyas (8-1-2), who were ranked second in the country for several weeks, will play a second-round match against High Point (12-1-0) on May 2. If they advance two rounds, they likely would face top-seeded Clemson (13-3-2) in the quarterfinals.

Seton Hall, the No. 6 seed, ended Georgetown’s 27-game unbeaten streak with a 2-1 victory at Shaw Field in Washington, the Hoyas’ first loss since early in the 2019 campaign.
