NCAA Awards 2010 Men's College Cup to UC Santa Barbara

INDIANAPOLIS--- The NCAA Division I Men’s Soccer Committee has selected Santa Barbara, Calif., to serve as the host for the 2010 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship, which will take place Dec. 10 and 12, 2010. Hosted by the University of California, Santa Barbara, the 2010 Men’s Soccer Championship will be played at Meredith Field at Harder Stadium. It marks the first time UC Santa Barbara will host the event, but the sixth time the championship will take place in the state of California (2005-Carson, 1981-Palo Alto, 1977- Berkeley, 1969-San Jose, 1966-Berkeley).

"This is tremendous news," said Mark Massari, UC Santa Barbara director of athletics. "UCSB, Santa Barbara and the central coast area is a great choice for celebrating the NCAA Men's College Cup. Now the fun begins and we look forward to working with our local community and civic leaders to make this event a huge success. We are on the national stage."

“The committee is very excited to bring the NCAA Men's College Cup back to the west coast with UC Santa Barbara hosting in 2010. Their reputation as a premier soccer venue, drawing record crowds in a location known for great weather makes UC Santa Barbara not only an ideal selection to host the NCAA Men’s College Cup, but will help to continue to foster the sport's growth,” said Charlie Elwood, chair of the Division I Men's Soccer Committee and director of athletic administration at Fordham University.

“We are so pleased and honored that the NCAA and the NCAA Men’s Soccer Committee has awarded the 2010 NCAA Men’s College Cup to UC Santa Barbara,” said Henry T. Yang, UC Santa Barbara Chancellor. “This is such an exciting opportunity for a great soccer community. I applaud our intercollegiate athletics director Mark Massari, head coach Tim Vom Steeg, our coaching staff, our student-athletes, and all of our devoted Gaucho alumni and fans for their contributions to this successful bid.”

Cary Looks To Be Capital Of College Cup

Some organizers are vying for a combined super-championship between the men's and women's College Cups

CARY, N.C. — The site of the men's College Cup, which also will host the women's Cup in 2010, has a loftier ambition — to hold a joint championship the same weekend in 2011 or 2012 and eventually to become the Omaha of college soccer. Omaha, Neb., is the permanent home of the baseball College World Series.

The Division I men's and women's soccer committees are considering a three-year pilot program, starting in 2011, for a joint College Cup weekend, and several local and university officials say Cary, a town of 137,483 near Raleigh, will bid to host it at least one year.

Cary would be joined in the effort by the Greater Raleigh Convention & Visitors Bureau, the Capital Area Soccer League and Campbell University, the new host school. N.C. State, the host school this year and next, will end its role after that to focus its staff resources on strengthening its own programs.

The NCAA has already named Cary a "championship city" — along with Indianapolis, Cleveland, St. Louis, San Diego and San Antonio — as part of another pilot program that is bringing seven championships here over four years. In addition to the College Cups, the Division II Baseball Championship will be held in 2010 and '11 at the USA Baseball complex in Cary, and the Division III cross-country and tennis championships are headed here in 2011 and '12, respectively.

But for a joint College Cup, WakeMed Soccer Park would have to be renovated and expanded. The town plans tentatively to spend $5.8 million in hotel occupancy tax money to eventually increase seating from 7,000 to 12,000, build two more locker rooms, add meeting and media space, perhaps even put up a video board.

TXST (W) soccer stands @ 6-4 w/a 4 game win streak going, in OOC play. Conference begins Friday. I assume that their best OOC wins were TCU and Navy...neither ranked.
