BABSON PARK, Mass.—After capturing its second New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) regular season title in the past three seasons, the Babson College men's soccer team earned one of 22 at-large bids to the NCAA Division III Tournament when the bracket was unveiled on Monday morning. 

Under the direction of 41st-year head coach Jon Anderson '75, the Beavers (10-2-6) are making their seventh consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance and 34th in program history. Babson fell in penalty kicks to Coast Guard in last Friday's NEWMAC Tournament semifinals following a 1-1 draw, and is unbeaten in eight straight matches dating back to October 10. 

The Green and White will take on Oneonta (13-2-2), which fell to Cortland in the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) Tournament, on Saturday at 2 p.m. on Bello Field in Medford, Mass. The Red Dragons are making the program's 17th NCAA Tournament appearance. 

Saturday's match marks the second year in a row and third time since 2019 that Babson and Oneonta will meet in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. 

The other first round matchup on Saturday features fourth-ranked Tufts University (10-3-5) taking on Penn State University-Abington (13-4-4) at 11 a.m. The Jumbos are the defending national champions after capturing the program's fifth title last December, while the Nittany Lions return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2018 and third time in school history. 

The teams that advance to the second round will meet on Sunday at 12 p.m.
