DOUGLAS, Ariz. (Nov. 11, 2025) — History awaits for the Cochise College women's soccer team, which has been selected as the #12 seed in the 2025 NJCAA Division I National Tournament. The event runs November 16–22 at the Advance Sports Complex in Enid, Oklahoma.

The Apaches are drawn into Group A, where they'll face two of the top teams in the nation:

  • #1 Daytona State College (Fla.) — Coming into nationals after an outstanding season (14–0–0 to date) with 59 goals scored in 14 games, 0.30 GAA and a dominant Region 8 Championship run.

  • #8 Monroe College (N.Y.) — Offensive juggernaut in 2025: 15 games played, 78 goals scored (5.20 per game), 23.4 shots per game, 0.222 shot percentage and a GAA of 1.22.

Cochise's Tournament Schedule

  • Sunday, Nov. 16 – vs. #1 Daytona State, 10:00 a.m. CT

  • Monday, Nov. 17 – vs. #8 Monroe College, 10:00 a.m. CT

Only the top team from Group A will advance to the national semifinal, making these early games do-or-die for the Apaches.

Scouting Notes: Keys to the Bracket

Daytona State looks nearly unstoppable — undefeated so far, elite defense, and well-balanced attack with 59 goals in 14 matches.
