For the first time since the 2005 season, the soccer team is back in the NCAA tournament. The team received an at-large bid and was given the 15th seed in the 48-team tournament. The game is scheduled for Sunday at 1 p.m. and is being played at Dail Soccer Field.  ”We haven’t been to the NCAA’s in a long time, so it is a very big achievement for the team,” junior defenseman Tyler Lassiter said. “We are all hyped to be out there.” With the seed, the team earned a first round bye and will play the winner of the first round game between University of Portland and New Mexico.  ”We are what we are, it’s a great opportunity and we just have to hope to go out and play well,” coach George Tarantini said.  After being ranked in the top-15 for most of the year and finishing the season with a 13-6-2 record, the team felt it was worthy of a first round bye, but a 2-6-2 conference record did not help the team’s chances. However, after an impressive run in the ACC tournament, in which it upset the second and third seeds on its way to the finals, the team held out hope.  ”We were eating dinner together and where watching the selections together on ESPN News and when we saw the first round bye come up, the whole team was started yelling and was extremely excited and pumped up,” Lassiter said.  Even though the team does not know who its opponent is yet, Tarantini believes that the high level of play the Pack has faced in the conference this year will benefit them.  ”The good thing about playing in the ACC is you are always playing good teams. The teams are all very athletic and good with the ball,” Tarantini said. “So I hope by playing in the conference, it gives us the experience to play well against anybody.” For many of the Pack players this will be one of the first times the players have played against a west coast team. But Lassiter believes the other teams’ style of play should not effect the Pack, noting every single team has its own unique way of playing.  ”Every team has its style. So teams are just going to knock the ball and some teams are going to try to outwork you and win every ball in the air,” Lassiter said. “We just have to continue to work harder than every team. We have to win every ball we can and just be the team that outworks the other one.” With the bye game, the Pack will be playing a lesser opponent than it is used to playing in the ACC, but Tarantini knows he has to keep his team focused squarely on the game Sunday and keep them from looking into the future.  ”We cannot look forward. We have to stay in the moment and focus on right now,” Tarantini said. “We are not thinking about anything after Sunday. We are thinking just about right now and focusing on whoever the winner of the two teams is for the game.”
