INDIANAPOLIS - The Bridgewater College women's soccer team has been selected to the NCAA Div. III Soccer Championship for the second straight season.

The Eagles will make their third total appearance in the NCAA Tournament as they take on host institution Dickinson in the round of 64 on Saturday. Bridgewater will make the trip up I-81 to clash with the Red Devils in Carlisle, Pa., in an opening-weekend pod that features national top seed Rowan and Worcester State. 

Bridgewater makes its second consecutive trip and third overall to the big dance under head coach Mike Van Horn. The Eagles have had one of the most successful seasons in program history. The 2026 campaign has seen BC blank 13 opponents, the second-most in program history. Bridgewater has also made national headlines this season with a pair of nationally ranked wins. The biggest came just over a week ago, when Bridgewater toppled No. 2 Washington and Lee 1-0 in Lexington, ending the Generals' first ODAC defeat in nearly three years and snapping WLU's 42-game home winning streak. 

BC is set to tangle with Dickinson on Saturday, a team it has faced the past two seasons. The Red Devils got the best of the Eagles in both matchups, including a 2-0 decision in Carlisle last September. Dickinson is averaging just 1.9 goals per game, but ranks 24th nationally in save percentage at .870, anchored by sophomore goalkeeper Pico Gray. The Centennial Conference runner-up currently holds a 14-3-4 overall record, highlighted by a six-game shutout streak in October.
