PBC Regular Season & Tournament Champions Flagler and PBC Regular Season Runners-Up North Georgia have punched their ticket to the NCAA Tournament yesterday evening. The NCAA released the 40 team championship field yesterday evening.
The Flagler College men's soccer team has received the #1 seed in Super Region 2 and have been selected to host the 2026 NCAA Division II Men's Soccer Southeast Regional. This marks the first time the Saints will host NCAA postseason competition since 2012.
The Saints will welcome Auburn University at Montgomery (11-3-3 overall, 7-1-2 GSC) and Lynn (8-3-6 overall, 3-3-3 SSC) to Saints Field for the opening round of the NCAA Division II Men's Soccer Championship. Auburn University at Montgomery and Lynn will square off on Friday, Nov. 13, with the winner advancing to face Flagler in the second round on Sunday, Nov. 15. Kick off for both matches are scheduled for 3 p.m.
Flagler (14-1-4 overall, 11-0-1 PBC) earned the right to host the Southeast Regional following a standout 2026 campaign. The Saints captured their third Peach Belt Conference regular-season title, and the first since 2011, after storming through conference play with 11 wins, the most in PBC history. Flagler then secured its third consecutive PBC Tournament Championship on Saturday with a 1-0 victory over North Georgia.
The University of North Georgia (UNG) men's soccer team has earned its first NCAA Division II Men's Soccer Championship bid and will enter the Super Region 2 Regional as the No. 7 seed. The Nighthawks are set to face No. 10 seed West Alabama in the opening round Nov. 13 at 3:00 p.m. in Salisbury, N.C. The regional will be hosted by second-seeded No. 10 Catawba.
The Nighthawks (13-3-5) enter the NCAA Tournament with strong momentum after making their second consecutive appearance in the Peach Belt Conference Tournament championship match. North Georgia earned back-to-back double-overtime victories over Georgia Southwestern and Clayton State to reach the championship match before finishing as the runner-up to Flagler. West Alabama (9-6-4) also enters the tournament following a victory over Trevecca Nazarene in the Gulf South Conference Tournament championship match.
The winner of Friday's matchup will advance to face Catawba in the second round at 3:00 p.m. on Nov. 15.
Friday's contest will mark the third meeting between North Georgia and West Alabama. The teams last met in 2023, when the Tigers earned a 6-1 victory. The Nighthawks claimed a 2-1 win in the first meeting in 2019.
