Choctaws Set for Elite Eight Showdown With Rollins in NCAA Tournament

WINTER PARK, Fla. — Mississippi College will face Rollins at 11 a.m. CST on Saturday in the Elite Eight of the 2025 NCAA Division II Men's Soccer Tournament, with a berth in the national semifinals on the line.

Strong Run to the Quarterfinals

The Choctaws entered the postseason as the No. 6 seed from Super Region 2 after going unbeaten in conference play as Gulf South Conference regular-season champions.

In the second round, MC shut out Florida Tech, 2–0, with goals from Alvaro Peña and Angel Carceles and a strong performance in goal by Cole Turner. Mississippi College followed with a statement 3–1 win over defending national champion Lynn in the third round, handing the Knights their first home loss in two seasons and becoming the first GSC program to reach the quarterfinals since 2021.

What to Watch Saturday

• Defensive form. Turner and the Mississippi College back line have been in top form throughout the NCAA Tournament, and another disciplined performance will be critical against Rollins.
• Balanced attack. Goals have come from multiple sources for the Choctaws, giving MC versatility in how they create chances.
• Historic momentum. With two strong NCAA wins already, the Choctaws look to secure the program's first-ever national semifinal appearance.
