INDIANAPOLIS – The Hounds aren't done yet. 

The UIndy men's soccer team clinched its spot in the 2025 NCAA DII Championships after hearing its name called in Monday night's selection show. The Greyhounds will head out west to take on GLVC rival, No. 8-seeded McKendree, in Hays, KS at the top seeded host site, Fort Hayes State, on Friday at 4 p.m. ET. 

"First, I want to say how proud I am of the boys and excited for them to get this opportunity to play in the NCAA tournament," head coach Gabe Hall said. "It's through  their hard work and resilience that they have earned a spot in the national tournament." 

This will be the first time the Hounds and Bearcats have met in the NCAA postseason tournament, but UIndy holds a 7-2-5 record against McKendree since 2012. 

"We have been drawn against a very good McKendree team that finished third in the GLVC," Hall said. "Last time out, it was a hard fought game that we came out on the wrong end of, and we will be looking to learn from that game to help us in the NCAA Tournament." 

The Greyhounds ended the 2025 regular season with three wins in four matches against Lewis, Illinois Springfield, and the current No. 5 seed in the NCAA regional field, Maryville. UIndy was bounced in the first round of the GLVC Championships in a rematch against Maryville, who eventually went on to capture the 2025 GLVC Championship. 

Claiming the No. 1 seed in Super Region 3 was GAC/MIAA champion Fort Hays State, who finished the season with an impressive 17-0-3 record. The winner of this sub region will earn the rights to play the winner of No. 4 seed Rockhurst or No. 5 seed Maryville. Along with Fort Hays State, GAC/MIAA runner-up Rogers State, and GLVC member Lincoln, are the other two hosts for first and second round match ups. The Hillcats will host No. 7 Cedarville and No. 10 Northern Michigan, while the Blue Tigers will play host to No. 6 seeded Tiffin.  

UIndy will be making its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 2023 after a run of three straight tournament appearances from 2021 to 2023. After missing out on Selection Day last season, the Hounds will be hungry to make some noise in this years dance.
