INDIANAPOLIS -- The NCAA Division III Women’s Soccer Committee on Monday announced the field of 64 teams for the 2013 Division III Women’s Soccer Championship.
Forty-three conferences were awarded automatic qualification for the 2013 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 include 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. 15-16 or 16-17. Second-round winners will advance to one of four sectional sites Nov. 22-23 or 23-24. All matches, except the semifinals and final, will be played on the campuses of competing institutions. Winners of the four sectionals will advance to the semifinals at Toyota Field in San Antonio on Dec. 6-7.
