SYLVANIA, Ohio (LourdesAthletics.com) – Lourdes University announces that both its men's and women's soccer teams have qualified to host the opening rounds of the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) championship tournament. This marks a historic occasion, as the women's team will host a WHAC tournament game on their home field for the first time in program history. For the men's team, it will be their second time hosting, following their home tournament appearance in 2020.
The Gray Wolves' men's soccer team, with a current overall record of 8-6-3 and a WHAC record of 7-2-2, will play on Tuesday, November 5 at 6 p.m. at Wildcat Stadium, entering the tournament as the No. 3 seed and competing against No. 6 Lawrence Tech University. This appearance is the sixth in program history and their fifth consecutive qualification for the postseason. In each of their previous five appearances, the team has reached the first round.
Following the men's opener, the women's soccer team, holding the best record in program history, an overall record of 11-3-1 and a WHAC record of 8-3, will take to the field on Wednesday, November 6 at 6 p.m. at Wildcat Stadium, as the No. 4 seed, against No. 5 Cornerstone University.
