Golden Eagles & Coyotes Selected for NCAA Men’s Soccer Championships

Nov 9, 2026

ALISO VIEJO, Calif. - Cal State LA and Cal State San Bernardino will represent the California Collegiate Athletic Association in the NCAA Division II Men’s Soccer Championship, earning two of the 10 berths in Super Region 4.
 
The undefeated Golden Eagles (17-0-2) claimed the region’s No. 1 seed and will host their opening contest Sunday, Nov. 15, at 6 p.m. Sixth-seeded CSUSB (14-4-3) will travel to face No. 3 seed CSU Pueblo (13-1-3) that same day at 5 p.m.
 
The selections give the CCAA two opportunities to advance through the regional bracket. Cal State LA enters the tournament without a loss in 19 matches and with the region’s top seed, while CSUSB brings 14 victories into its postseason opener. Positioned in opposite halves of the bracket, the Golden Eagles and Coyotes could meet in the Super Region 4 final if both advance.
 
Cal State LA joins No. 2 Midwestern State (15-0-5), No. 3 CSU Pueblo and No. 4 Seattle Pacific (17-3-1) as the region’s four host sites. Regis (12-3-4) earned the No. 5 seed, followed by CSUSB, No. 7 UCCS (10-3-6), No. 8 Western Oregon (11-4-5), No. 9 Fort Lewis (11-6-3) and No. 10 Westmont (10-7-5).
 
Cal State LA awaits Western Oregon or Fort Lewis
The Golden Eagles will face the winner of Friday’s first-round matchup between Western Oregon and Fort Lewis, scheduled for Nov. 13 at 6 p.m. Western Oregon enters with 11 victories and five draws, while Fort Lewis also has 11 wins. Either opponent will face the challenge of handing Cal State LA its first defeat of the season, with the Golden Eagles opening their NCAA tournament run at home.
 
CSUSB visits third-seeded CSU Pueblo
The Coyotes will open against a CSU Pueblo team that has lost just once in 17 matches. CSUSB’s 14-win season sets up a compelling matchup with the host ThunderWolves, whose 13-1-3 record earned them the region’s No. 3 seed. The winner will advance to face either Midwestern State, UCCS or Westmont.
