NCAA Tournament Comes to Bentley on Sunday as Falcons Host Gannon

Luke Mollenhauer
WALTHAM, Mass. – The NCAA Men's Soccer Tournament comes to Bentley on Sunday when the Falcons host Gannon in a second round game. Kickoff is at 1:00 pm.

The game will be streamed for free on NCAA.com

Bentley (11-2-4) received an at-large bid as the #3 seed in Super Region 1. Gannon (13-2-4) received an automatic bid as the PSAC champion and is the #6 seed.

It will be a matchup of nationally ranked teams with Bentley #11 in this week's United Soccer Coaches poll and Gannon is at #14. This will be just the third all-time meeting between the two programs.

The Falcons won their first NE10 regular season championship since 1995 with a 7-0-2 record, making them the only team to not lose a regular season game in the conference. They defeated Adelphi in penalty kicks in the playoff semifinals before falling to Franklin Pierce in the championship game.

Sunday will be Bentley's first NCAA Tournament game since a 1975 contest against Adelphi. That 1975 team was honored earlier this season when the Falcons and Panthers played a regular season game on October 25.

Gannon finished first in the PSAC west division in the regular season and won the playoff championship by defeating West Chester 2-1 in the semifinals and Millersville 2-1 in the finals.

They are appearing in the NCAAs for the fourth time in five seasons.

The winner of Sunday's game advances to the third round on Sunday, November 30. The opponent will be either #2 seed Franklin Pierce, or the winner of a first round game between #7 Wilmington and #10 Roberts Wesleyan.
