I guess soccer is still not catching on in the deep south.

Let's prove 'em wrong on the pitch Apps!!!!

The oft reorganized SBC league that App joined included Ga State, Ga Sou, Howard, NJIT (New Jersey Inst.of Tech) and Hartwick. The last three were associate members so as to help keep the 'Belt's automatic NCAA championship bid.

NJIT is now in it's second conference since leaving the 'Belt three years ago. Coastal Carolina was admitted into full membership three years ago. Hartwick withdrew and moved down to D-III a year ago. Central Arkansas was admitted after last season as an associate member---coming over after winning the Missouri Valley Conference title and playing into the NCAA post-season.

We have the makings of a Top 10 league. Four of the six current teams are already legit. App is recovering from two decades of neglect and on the rise. Howard is down more often than up.

Whispers of Arkansas State's MSOC interest continue; but the likelihood is unknown.

I don’t follow soccer like I did while I was in school but I am surprised and frankly a little disappointed that the Sunbelt doesn’t field but four teams. I can see the wrestling situation but soccer may be the largest participation sport for the under 21 crowd in the country. Pretty weak.

Where can I purchase tickets for a game? They host George Mason the Friday before UNCC, and I will be getting in town early enough to check out the game. I just can't find anywhere on the website about purchasing tickets.
