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.
