IRVINE, CALIF. (Nov. 17, 2012) -- The Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) men's soccer team already made history before Saturday's NAIA Men's Soccer National Championship Opening Round game against Concordia University - Irvine, but the Saints were hoping to continue their fate through to a trip to Alabama for the 54th Annual NAIA National Championships. A goal with seven minutes left in the game was all Concordia needed to end the Saints dream of qualifying for the final Sweet 16 round.

Head Coach Shane Hurley said, "The men played with an admirable amount of determination and discipline in a very tight game with a top flight competitor. The 2012 team was simply historic because of those two factors alone. They have set the bar high for our future soccer teams to beat."

The 2012 team is the first at OLLU to win both the Red River Athletic Conference regular season title and the Conference Tournament title. Men's soccer, along with volleyball, are the two original teams that kicked off intercollegiate athletics at OLLU in 2007.  The Saints end their season with a 9-2 conference record and 12-8-1 overall.

The 16 opening round winners will advance to the 54th annual national championship final site from Nov. 26 - Dec. 1 at the Emory Folmar Soccer Complex in Montgomery, Ala.

Our Lady of the Lake University is one of 32 teams that are comprised of 24 automatic qualifiers awarded to conference/independent/unaffiliated group tournament and regular-season champions. The rest of the field is made up of eight at-large teams, selected by the final NAIA Men's Soccer Modified Ratings Percentage Index (MRPI). Fourteen clubs are repeat performers from last year, while eight teams will be competing in their first-ever championship, including the Saints.

The Saints earned an automatic bid to the opening round after they won the Red River Athletic Conference regular season. The team was also crowned the conference tournament champions after beating Texas Wesleyan University 2-0 on Saturday evening. As the runner-up, Texas Wesleyan has also qualified for the opening round.

OLLU will face the No. 3-ranked team in the NAIA, Concordia University - Irvine. The Eagles will host the Saints on Nov. 17 at a time to be determined.
