The field of 64 teams, which will compete for the 26th NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer Championship, was announced today by the NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer Committee. The top 16 teams are seeded and conference teams cannot play each other in the first round; however, second round conference match-ups are permissible. When pairing teams, the committee is restricted by geographic proximity. Sites are selected for the first and second rounds to create the least number of flights. Thirteen of the top 16 seeds will be hosting first- and second-round competition.
The four No. 1 seeds include the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, an automatic qualifier from the ACC, Penn State University, the UCLA, an automatic qualifier from the Pac10 Conference, and Stanford University.
The No. 2 seeds include Texas A&M, USC, University of Portland, and Purdue. Capturing No. 3 seeds are the Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, and Florida State. Wake Forest, West Virginia, Virginia and Notre Dame, complete the top 16 seeded teams, each earning a No. 4 seed.
