Skidmore (11-4-3) thought it season was over after a heartbreaking final-minute 1-0 loss to Hamilton College in the Liberty League semifinals. The team's strength of schedule, including a 0-0 overtime time against William Smith and a 1-0 win over Amherst, impressed the selection committee enough for an at-large bid.

The winner will play the winner of the other Pod semifinal between Williams and Keuka College on Sunday at 1 p.m.

The Thoroughbreds are playing in their second straight and fourth NCAA tournament. The team lost to Western Connecticut in penalty kicks in 2008.
