Alabama Soccer Earns No. 1 Seed in the NCAA Tournament

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — It’s official.

Coach Wes Hart and the Alabama soccer team watched Monday’s selection show and learned it will enter the NCAA Tournament as a 1-seed.

The Crimson Tide will host SWAC Champion Jackson State University this Friday.

“Super excited,” Hart said about the team’s seeding. “To be a 1-seed, I can’t even describe the feeling. Looking at where we started a few years ago and where we are now, just all the hard work that was put in, it’s pretty incredible.”

Alabama was one win shy of completing a perfect SEC season – going undefeated in regular season conference play and tournament play before losing to South Carolina in the championship game. Riley Mattingly Parker, who’s top-10 in goals scored in the country, talked about the time after the loss leading up to the announcement.
