The NCAA announced the field of 64 for the 2017 women’s soccer College Cup on Monday afternoon, and YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles were not a part of the bracket.
Marquette finished the season with a record of 13-7-1, but ultimately that was not enough to earn them an at-large bid to the national championship tournament. With a 64 team field, the selection process is not entirely unlike the men’s basketball tournament. The Golden Eagles finished with an RPI of 51, which most likely disqualified them from the tournament at face value. On top of that, MU did not have a single top 60 win to their credit this season according to the final RPI rankings.
