College Soccer Weekend Preview

  NCAALogo

The NCAA men's soccer post-season is well underway as the top conferences across the country prepare to crown champions ahead of the upcoming NCAA Tournament draw.

The power conferences provide the big showcases today, as the ACC, Big EAST and Big Ten hold conference semifinals today. The Big EAST will feature the best match-up of the day as UConn takes on Louisville at Red Bull Arena, with the winner set to be the favorite to lift silverware on Sunday.

While Louisville can still repeat as Big EAST champion, we will have a new champion in the ACC after Maryland's surprising quarterfinal loss to Boston College. North Carolina is now the favorite to clinch the title, but must defeat a streaking Virginia side.

The Big Ten will also crown a new champion after Michigan's early departure, which leaves Indiana as the favorite to hoist the championship trophy. The Hoosiers will have to beat Northwestern today to do it.
