INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – UNC Greensboro women’s soccer, the 2018 Southern Conference Tournament Champions, will face No. 3 seed South Carolina in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, the NCAA announced Wednesday afternoon. The Gamecocks host the Spartans in the matchup, but no official time or date has been set. The game will either be on Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
