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 ■l ■ 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.
