Georgia soccer left
out of this year’s
NCAA tournament
By EDWARD KIM
The Red & Black
As the Georgia women’s soccer team huddled around a
television set at goalkeeper’s coach Steve Nugent’s house
Monday afternoon to watch the tournament selection
show, team after team was selected to participate in the
2010 NCAA Tournament.
But after all 64 teams were announced, the Bulldogs
found that they were not among those chosen to play
thus ending its 2010 season.
“Obviously we’re very disappointed,” first-year head
coach Steve Holeman said. “We would have loved to see
this team play again. We are actually playing our best soc
cer right now. For the seniors, their career just came to an
end and it’s a cold way for it to come to an end, to be
watching a bracket where you think your name is going to
be called and the brackets go by and at the end of it you
are not on there.”
After falling to Florida in the semifinals
of the SEC Tournament last Friday, the
team’s coaches and players firmly believed
that they had done more than enough to be
selected.
With a record of 11-6-4 and a top-25 rank
ing for much of the season, Georgia had
accumulated more wins than 13 other
schools that made the tournament. The
Bulldogs also played through one of the
toughest schedules in the country, one that

HOLEMAN
saw them play six schools that made it Into the tourna
ment, including a No. 1 seed in Stanford and a No. 2 seed
in Florida. The Bulldogs went 2-5-1 against these teams,
but went into overtime in four of those games.
A deciding factor against the Bulldogs may have come
in their last eight games the team’s worst stretch.
“[The tournament selection committee] looks at your
last eight games where we were 4-4,” Holeman said, “But I
think that we were probably the 65th team. We were prob
ably the last team out.”
During that stretch of games, Oeorgla lost to a Florida,
a top-10 team twice, but beat then No. 14 South Carolina
in Columbia, S.C.
Overall, three teams from the SEC made the tourna
ment field, Florida, South Carolina and Auburn.
A question mark in the tournament selection process
came in the Auburn Tiger’s selection. Auburn’s record in
BEC play was 5-4-3 good for only fifth in the conference
while Georgia finished the SEC with a 5-3-3 mark to
secure fourth place. In the teams’ two head-to-head match
ups Georgia and Auburn split both games, but Georgia
most recently defeated the Tigers 2-1 in double overtime in
the first round of the SEC Tournament.
“[Auburn and Georgia] went head-to-head [in the deci
sion making], said Holeman. “They had some significant
wins and bad losses, at the end of the day the committee
had to make a decision.
