ORLANDO, Fla. (men’s soccer)–Pairings have been set for the quarterfinal round of the 2006 Sunshine State Conference Men’s Soccer Championship which will

tying their last three games including defeating SSC foe Eckerd 2-to-1, tying regionally ranked and SSC opponent Nova Southeastern 2-2 in double
overtime, and defeating regional opponent Palm Beach Atlantic 3-2 all on the road.
The participating teams, seeds and host site for the 2006 SSC Men’s Soccer Championship were adjusted to reflect five institutions being required to
forfeit some or all men’s conference games due to student-athletes participating while ineligible under NCAA Division II rules. Institutions that were
required to forfeit men’s conference games will have an asterisk placed next to their conference and overall record, as indicated in the SSC men’s soccer
standings that appear below.
