Tournament Bracket
INDIANAPOLIS – In the first round of the 2017 Great Lakes Valley Conference Men’s Soccer Championship Tournament, four teams advanced to Friday’s semifinal matches, which will be held in Indianapolis, Indiana, at Carroll Stadium on the campus of IUPUI.
No. 8 Missouri S&T upset top-seed and eighth-ranked Rockhurst University, 3-2, in overtime to earn its second semifinals bid in three years. The Miners also garnered their first-ever program win in Kansas City in stunning fashion, making them the first 8-seed to win a postseason game since 2010.
The other upset of the day came from No. 7 seed University of Southern Indiana’s 2-1 double overtime victory at No. 2 Maryville University. The Saints struck first in the 33rd minute, and the Screaming Eagles tied things up at the 57:38 mark. It wasn’t until the second minute of the second overtime period that USI netted the sudden victory goal off a header from a corner kick. This is the Eagles second appearance in a row in the league’s semifinal round.
No. 3 Lewis University earned a 2-1 win over No. 6 University of Illinois Springfield, as all three goals were scored in the first half. The Flyers went up 2-0, scoring their goals in the 19th and 35th minutes and held off the Prairie Stars the remaining 55 minutes despite giving up one goal at 37:02. Lewis will be making its 24th trip to the semifinals.
The fourth spot in the GLVC semifinal round of the postseason Championship came from No. 4 University of Indianapolis, winning 2-1 against fifth-seed Bellarmine University. Indianapolis struck first early in the 11th minute before the Knights equalized at 28:38, sending the teams into halftime tied 1-1. It wasn’t until 65:55 that the Greyhounds went ahead again for the eventual winning tally. UIndy is making an appearance in the semifinal round for the 11th time.
