Xavier's men seem to have forgotten how to win, but luckily they have remembered how to tie. Three straight ties now, so they're 3-1-3 and continue to lead the Big East Midwest thanks to Creighton knocking off Akron (and Akron tying Marquette for their fourth Big East draw).
On the women's side, there are no divisions (I guess because there's no Akron on the women's side), so the 5-0-4 Muskies are in second behind 6-0-4 Georgetown. The 12-2-4 overall Muskies are ranked #20 by the coaches and #25 by Top Drawer Soccer this week.
Results 11 to 20 of 42

Also no Akron on the women's side because the MAC sponsors women's soccer. They don't sponsor men's soccer.

Xavier women win a share of the big East crown. Second straight unbeaten big East season. “ only one thing left to do… win the whole fucking thing.”

Xavier also gets the #1 seed by virtue of a win against UConn; Georgetown tied UConn earlier this season.

Xavier locked up the #2 seed in the Big East tournament and gets rewarded with....Akron. That's pretty rough. Saturday night at 7:00 at home for X.
The women, meanwhile, are ranked #17 and play Villanova in the Big East semis in Maryland tomorrow night.

Akron had a bunch of ties that knocked them down to the 7 seed. Pretty sure the men (unlike the women) need the auto-bid to go dancing.

The women are headed to the be championship match on Sunday after a 2-0 win today. They’ll play the winner of Georgetown or UConn.
Either way I think the women are going to be in line for a couple of home tourney matchesLast edited by Xville; 11-02-2023 at 05:59 PM.

Xavier wins!
Akron brought in a guy with two minutes to go, and he apparently got a red card as time expired. Like to know what that's about!
Akron is ranked #21. Can a team come in 7th in the Big East and get an at large bid to the NCAA Tournament?
