CLINTON, N.Y. -- The NCAA unveiled the complete bracket for the 2026 Division III Men's Soccer Championship and announced Allegheny College's first-round opponent on Monday afternoon.

Coming off Saturday's Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) championship victory, Allegheny (12-6-2) will travel to Clinton, New York, and the campus of Hamilton College for the first and second rounds of the NCAA tournament. The Gators will face the hosts from Hamilton (7-4-5) in the opening round at Love Field on Saturday, Nov. 14, at 11 a.m. The winning team will play either Denison University or SUNY Plattsburgh on Sunday at 1:30 p.m.

Single-day tickets will be $15 for adults and $5 for college students with ID and kids under 18. A two-day ticket will also be available for $25 for adults and $8 for college students with ID and kids under 18. Admission for children under two is free. More info about tickets will be available later this week.

Allegheny is set to return to the national championship tournament for the first time since 2004. The Gators needed a shootout to punch their ticket to the NCAA tournament. Ben Keefer (Zelienople, Pa./Seneca Valley) scored the game-tying goal in the 66th minute against top-seeded Grove City College. After 20 minutes of scoreless overtime, Allegheny outscored the Wolverines on penalty kicks, 4-1. Keefer, Will Gruca (Baden, Pa./Ambridge), Jose Cifuentes (Guatemala City, Guatemala/The Kiski School (Pa.)), and Micah Khembo (Pittsburgh, Pa./North Catholic) each made their attempts to lift the Gators to their first PAC championship since 1978. Allegheny enters this weekend's match at Hamilton riding a 12-game unbeaten streak (10-0-2) that began with a 7-2 win over Saint Francis University on Sept. 26. Over those 14 games, the Gators have outscored their opponents 37-15 with four shutouts.

Hamilton is one of 16 teams selected to host the first and second rounds of the NCAA Division III Championship and is making its sixth trip to nationals. The Continentals moved up to No. 15 in the country in the latest United Soccer Coaches D-III rankings. They play in one of the nation's most competitive conferences, the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC), which is sending eight teams to the national tournament. Last Saturday, the Continentals played to a 1-1 double-overtime draw with No. 4-ranked Tufts University, but the Jumbos won the shootout, 4-3.
