When the Missouri State men's soccer team takes the field in the third round of the NCAA Tournament, it will be somewhere no team in the program before it has ever gone before.
Missouri State is in the third round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history and it will face seventh-seeded Washington on Thursday at 11 a.m. in Cary, North Carolina.
The Bears won perhaps the biggest game in team history with their 2-1 win over Maryland in the second round of the tournament. MSU sophomore Jon Koka scored two goals in the final 4:30 of the match to come away with the program's second-ever NCAA Tournament win.
