Barry
University to host both the men's and women's NCAA Division II soccer
national championships for the second straight year
In 1999, Barry was
the first NCAA school to ever have both events at the same site.
The Buccaneers will also have both their men's and women's teams playing
in the national semifinals for the second straight year. Lynn University
is the only other team in Division II history to have both of its soccer
teams advance to the national semifinals in back-to-back seasons. The
Fighting Knights had both of their soccer teams advance to the semifinals
in 1996 and 1997. Barry hopes to make soccer history again this year by
becoming the first school to have both its men's and women's teams advance
to the finals in the same year.
Buccaneer women (18-0-0, No.1 NSCAA) have advanced to the national semi
finals for the ninth time in the past 12 years and are seeking their fourth
national title. Barry won the NCAA II crown in 1989, 1992 and 1993. The
Buccaneers defeated the University of North Florida 1-0 on a goal by senior
forward Jenny Nilsson Saturday, Nov. 18 in the quarterfinals. They downed
Lynn University 4-1 in the first round in Miami Shores Nov. 12
The Bucs will face Northern Kentucky in their semifinal game on Thursday,
Nov. 30 at 7:00 p.m.
This season, the Bucs have rewritten the record book, breaking team records
for goals in a season with 94, assists in a season with 102 and points
in a season 295. In addition, with the Buccaneers' win over North Florida
in the quarterfinals they established new school record for wins in a
season with 18.
