CHARLOTTE, N.C. (www.BigSouthSports.com) -- For the third time since 2017, High Point University has earned the No. 1 seed in the Big South Men’s Soccer Championship tournament, it was determined following the conclusion of the conference season today. The Panthers finished the regular-season with 24 points and an 8-0-0 conference record for the outright title.
Campbell and USC Upstate tied for second in the standings with identical 6-1-1 Big South records and 19 points. The teams played to a 2-2 draw on Feb. 28 and both lost to HPU during the season, and the next tiebreaker of goal differential in conference matches gave the defending champion Camels the No. 2 seed.
