INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA Division III Women’s Soccer Committee announced Monday the field of 64 teams for the 2012 NCAA Division III Women’s Soccer Championship.
Forty-three conferences were awarded automatic qualification for the 2012 championship. One team was selected from Pool B, which consists of independent institutions, and institutions that are members of conferences that do not meet the requirements for automatic qualification. The final 20 berths were reserved for Pool C, which are institutions from automatic-qualifying conferences that are not the conference champion and any remaining Pool B teams.
Sixteen four-team sites will conduct first- and second-round play on the first weekend of the championship, Nov. 9-10 or 10-11. Second-round winners will advance to one of four sectional sites Nov. 16-17 or 17-18. All games, except the semifinals and final, will be played on the campuses of competing institutions. Winners of the four sectionals will advance to the semifinals Nov. 30-Dec. 1 at Blossom Soccer Stadium in San Antonio, Texas.
