NCAA REGIONAL RANKINGS...The second round of NCAA Regional Rankings came out on Tuesday, October 29, and in the North Region the top two teams all hail from the Iowa Conference.

The Regional Rankings are what the NCAA Men’s Soccer Committee references when determining at-large bids for the NCAA Tournament. There are three ways that a team can earn a bid into the NCAA Tournament.

Teams receiving a Pool A bid win their conference tournament and earn the conference’s automatic qualifying bid. A Pool B bid is reserved for those independent institutions or institutions whose conference does not meet the requirements for a ‘pool A’ bid.

Last but not least, Pool C bids are given to institutions from automatic-qualifying conferences that are not the conference tournament champion and do not qualify for a Pool B bid.

In 2013, 41 teams received Pool A bids, one team received a Pool B bid, and 19 teams received a Pool C bid.

A LOOK BACK TO 2012...The last time Loras entered the Iowa Conference Tournament with an undefeated record, they cruised to a 6-nil win over Simpson in the semifinals before winning the crown with a 2-1 victory over Central. The goal Central scored was the first that Loras had allowed in conference play all season.

2014 is the only the fourth time in 14 seasons that Loras has entered the conference tournament with an unblemished conference record (2014, 2012, 2009, 2007). In all but one year, Loras went on to win the conference tournament.
