If it were basketball, the MSU men’s soccer team would be a No. 1 seed going into the NCAA Tournament.
But because only 48 teams are selected for the tournament, the Spartans earned a No. 4 seed, which guarantees MSU home field advantage until the semifinals.
The Spartans (13-5-1) will face the winner of the Illinois-Chicago vs. Dayton game at 1 p.m. today at DeMartin Stadium at Old College Field.
In his last season as head coach, Joe Baum is thrilled with his team’s success as of late and its high ranking in the tournament.
“Our hope was just to make the tournament and now (we are) a No. 4 seed and get a bye and be at home,” Baum said. “It’s like a dream come true.”
