PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – For the third straight season, the La Salle women’s soccer team has qualified for the NCAA Tournament. After winning a second straight Atlantic 10 title, the Explorers drew Georgetown in the first round and the two teams will meet on Saturday afternoon.

While the Explorers have plenty of experience of getting to the tournament, they have yet to pick up a win. In 2011, they lost in the first round to Maryland and then last season Virginia took them out in the opening round. The last three years represent the only NCAA berths in program history, and Royal says they are hungry not to be “one and done” this season.
“We have one of the best senior classes in the country,” Royal says. “These kids have been there, they know what to expect. It’s not just we’re happy to be at the NCAA Tournament anymore. It’s been one of our goals the last two years now to win an NCAA Tournament game.”
