The Pitt men’s soccer team earned the No. 5 seed in the upcoming NCAA tournament on Tuesday, as well as a first-round bye, after going 11-5-1 over the course of the regular season. Pitt emerged from the season as the ACC Coastal champion but was bounced from the ACC tournament by Notre Dame.

Pitt will play the winner of Northern Illinois and Oakland, and beyond that lie some chances to encounter familiar foes in later rounds. Should Pitt advance to the third round of the tournament, it could face rival Penn State, a team it beat 1-0 in Happy Valley on Sept.
