AUGUSTA, GA — The Peach Belt Conference has released the bracket for the 2024 Men’s Soccer Tournament. Play begins with quarterfinal games this Saturday, Nov. 9, with the semifinals on Friday, Nov. 15, and the championship on Sunday, Nov. 17.
Clayton State is the top seed for the tournament once again after completing the regular-season schedule with an 8-1-1 conference record for 25 points. The defending tournament champions, the Lakers will host the semifinals and finals from Laker Field and will receive a first-round bye. Clayton State is the top seed in the PBC tournament for the sixth time in program history.
North Georgia is the second seed for the PBC Tournament, equalling their highest seed ever which they first accomplished in 2016. UNG finished with a 6-3-1 conference record and tied in the standings with Flagler. However, the Nighthawks swept the Saints in both regular-season meetings to win the tiebreak and take the seed. UNG will also get a bye and advance to the semifinals.
Flagler will be the #3 seed after the tiebreak and will host a quarterfinal game this Saturday in St. Augustine. The Saints, who have only one loss in their last five games, reached the PBC championship game in 2022 and will be looking for their first title since 2020. Flagler will host sixth-seeded USC Aiken on Saturday.
Lander will be the #4 seed for the PBC Tournament following their 1-1 tie against USC Aiken in the regular-season finale on Monday night. The tie was Lander’s third in their last five games as they look to return to the PBC championship game for a third year in a row. Lander will welcome fifth-seeded Georgia Southwestern to Greenwood on Saturday.
Game times for Saturday’s quarterfinal games will be announced by the conference office later this week.
