ASUN men's soccer tournament

American college soccer tournament From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The ASUN Men's Soccer Tournament is the conference championship tournament in soccer for the ASUN Conference (previously the Trans America Athletic Conference and Atlantic Sun Conference). The tournament has been held every year since 1978 except in 2020, when the ASUN moved its soccer season from fall 2020 to spring 2021 due to COVID-19 issues (resulting in two tournaments in calendar 2021). It is a single-elimination tournament and seeding is based on regular season records. The winner, declared conference champion, receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Men's Division I Soccer Championship.

Notes
  1. The ASUN moved its originally scheduled fall 2020 season to spring 2021 due to COVID-19 issues. The conference tournament was officially branded as the "2021 Spring" edition.
  2. For the rescheduled spring 2021 season only, the ASUN split into North and South Divisions, with regular-season standings based exclusively on results within the division. Jacksonville won the South Division.
  3. The final, originally scheduled for April 17 at Jacksonville University's Southern Oak Stadium, was postponed to the following day due to unplayable field conditions and moved to the Stetson University campus.[4]
