How They Got Here

• The squad made history on Sunday with the program's first three-peat winning the BIG EAST Championship for the third consecutive year in a 3-1 victory over Providence College at Shaw Field. 
• This is just the second time in program history that the squad has won both the regular season and the championship in the same year.  The previous double championship was in 2015.
• Only two other schools have won three-consecutive BIG EAST Championships, St. John's (1992-95) and Seton Hall (1986-88).
• The Blue & Gray has now won the past four BIG EAST Tournaments it has participated in with titles in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019.
• The Blue & Gray has been in the national polls all season.  The most recent RPI had the Hoyas at No. 2 and last week's United Soccer Coaches' Poll put GU at No. 3.  Georgetown sat at No. 2 in TopDrawerSoccer.com's poll on Monday.

 
NCAA Tournament History

• Georgetown's NCAA Tournament berth is the eighth under Head Coach Brian Wiese. 
• The Hoyas have been to the tournament on nine previous occasions with six trips to the Round of 16 (2018, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 1997) and two to the quarterfinals (2014, 2012).  
• In 2012, the squad was the national runner up, falling to Indiana 1-0 in the national championship game. Prior to that season, the program had never moved beyond the second round of the tournament with previous appearances in 2010, 1997 and 1994.
• The Hoyas are 9-6-5 overall in the NCAA Tournament.
• The No. 3 seed ties the highest seed in program history.  Georgetown was the No. 3 overall seed in both 2012 and 2015.
