BOULDER Colorado soccer will head back to North Carolina as one of the 48 teams selected to the NCAA Tournament on Monday. The Buffaloes, an at-large selection, will take on South Alabama in the first round on Apr. 27 (5 p.m. MT) at Bryan Park in Greensboro, N.C. I can make the argument that the length of the season, all the challenges everybody had to go through, the shrunk-down bracket with less at large slots that this might be our best regular season we ve ever had, head coach
Danny Sanchez explained after the selections were announced. Going into the last stretch of games we knew we had to get results, and we did against very good teams. I couldn t be more proud of this group.
