LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech Soccer earned a sixth-seed in the 2025 NCAA Soccer Championship the NCAA Soccer Selection Committee announced Monday.
As a result of earning one of the 32-national seeds the Red Raiders will play host to UTSA on Friday night at 6 p.m. at the John Walker Soccer Complex.

The Red Raiders are 2-0-0 all-time against the Roadrunners and have won the two matchups by a combined 7-0 scoreline.
UTSA earned its bid into this year's field by defeating UAB (2-1), Memphis (3-3, 3-1 in PKs) and defeating Rice (1-0) in overtime in the American Conference Championship.
Hosting a first round match for third-straight season, the Red Raiders are 7-0-0 all-time in home NCAA Tournament First Round matchups and have advanced in nine of the 10 all-time matchups at home in the NCAA Tournament (7-1-2).

If victorious over UTSA on Friday night, the Red Raiders would advance to the NCAA Round of 32 for the third-straight season and would face the winner of No. 3 Tennessee and North Carolina next Thursday (Nov. 20).
The Red Raiders are paired with No. 2 TCU, Grambling, No. 7 Memphis, Illinois, No. 3 Tennessee and UNC.
