INDIANAPOLIS – The Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) released Sunday the bracket for the 2023 GLVC Women's Soccer Championship Tournament. Maryville University earned the Regular Season title and top seed in the eight-team tournament and will serve as one of four hosts in the postseason quarterfinal contests, which take place next Sunday, Nov. 5. Second-seeded McKendree University, No. 3 Drury University, and No. 4 Lewis University will also host first-round action.
Seedings for this year’s postseason were set to be based on a point system, where a win earned three points and a tie earned one; however – per GLVC soccer policy – since not all teams played the complete 13-game schedule, those total points were averaged to determine seeds.
