For the sixth consecutive season, the York College men's soccer squad has earned a trip to the NCAA Division III National Championship tournament as the brackets were announced Monday afternoon by the NCAA.

The Spartans, who earned an automatic bid courtesy of Saturday's Capital Athletic Conference championship win in penalty kicks, have earned the right to host a pair of first round matches and a second round match on Saturday and Sunday.

York was the only CAC team selected to compete in the 2010 NCAA Men's Soccer Championship Tournament.

The Spartans will face Kenyon College in one first round match. The Spartans, who are 16-4-1, face a 114-2-2 Kenyon squad that earned an at-large bid after falling in the semifinals of the North Coast Athletic Conference tournament.

In the other first round match, Ohio Wesleyan (16-1-2) and Catholic University (11-5-4) will square off. Ohio Wesleyan earned the automatic bid of the North Coast Athletic Conference while Catholic nabbed the Landmark Conference automatic bid to advance to the NCAA Tournament.

Saturday's winners will square off on Sunday with a trip to the Sweet 16 on the line.

The Spartans have advanced to the Elite Eight in three of the last four seasons. They have been selected to host NCAA Tournament action at Graham Field in four of the last six years. The Spartans hosted in 2006, 2008, 2009, and now 2010.

York will be no stranger to a number of teams in the draw. The Spartans have played five of the 59 other teams in the tournament. York faced Medaille, Messiah, Johns Hopkins, Stevens and Lynchburg during the regular season. The Spartans went 2-3 against those squads. York defeated Medaille and Lynchburg while Johns Hopkins and Stevens each edged the Spartans by a goal. Messiah posted a 2-0 win in Grantham, PA on October 5. The loss to Messiah was the last loss of the Spartan regular season. York finished the season 12-1-1 over their last 14 matches after a 4-3 start to the season.
