Women's Soccer Daily Update - Nov. 1 - Tournament Seeds Released

The 2008 women's soccer regular season came to a close on Saturday night and with that, the final seeds for the PBC Tournament have been determined.

On the field, shutouts were the order of the day.  Columbus State and GCSU fought to a 0-0 tie in Columbus, the first non-win for the Cougars in a PBC game since 2005.  GCSU's Mary Rob Plunkett made eight saves as CSU outshot the Bobcats 20-6.  CSU's Monica Sanchez made three saves.  Both teams earned  point for their troubles, but it ended up costing GCSU a seed as UNC Pembroke moved ahead in the standings.

UNC Pembroke took down USC Aiken 2-0 on the road, their ninth straight win.  With that, the Lady Braves take the #2 seed for the PBC Tournament.  Game details were not available at press time.

North Georgia took the #4 seed after beating Georgia Southwestern 8-0 in Americus.  Katie Turner and Lauren Schenk each scored two goals, Schenk added an assist.

Armstrong Atlantic State finished the year with a 2-0 win at Lander.  Brittany Carr and Erin Holt each scored a goal.

The final seeds have been set.  The only tiebreaker involved Lander, Clayton State and USC Aiken.  Each finished with four points (one Lander victory was nullified).  Lander takes the #6 seed after going 1-0-1 against both Clayton State and USC Aiken.  USC Aiken is #7 with a 1-1-0 mark while Clayton State is the eighth seed with a 0-1-1 mark.

With the loss to North Georgia, Georgia Southwestern will not be involved in the PBC Tournament and has seen their season come to an end.

The first round schedule is listed below.  Teams that win their first round games will advance to the semifinals and final which, for the first time, will be played on a neutral field in Evans, Ga.  Click here for more information about the finals.
