Half of the of NCAA Men’s Soccer Tournament field is set after a majority of teams from across the nation punched their ticket, including Georgetown, Maryland, Syracuse and more.

The Hoyas are arguably the hottest team in the nation right now after winning the Big East Conference, 2-1, over Creighton on Sunday. Alex Muyl scored the golden goal to extend his team’s unbeaten streak to 16 games and winning streak to 13.

Meanwhile, Maryland may not have had as good of a season as many other top teams, but come tournament time, the Terrapins pulled through once again.

Thanks to goals from freshman Eryk Williamson and senior Tsubasa Endoh, the Terrapins surprised Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio, to claim their fourth-straight conference tournament title.

In the ACC, Syracuse defeated Notre Dame, 1-0, to win arguably the toughest conference title in the nation. The Orange had to beat NC State, North Carolina, Clemson and the Fighting Irish in order to hoist the ACC trophy.

Apart from those 20 teams listed below that claimed a conference tournament title and an automatic berth into the NCAA tournament over the weekend, Dartmouth, Stanford, Rider and Santa Clara will all be participating in the postseason tourney as well.

Every team will learn its NCAA tournament fate when the bracket is announced live on NCAA.com (1 p.m., Monday).
