The Concord's Women's Soccer team didn't get the seeding it wanted, but it got the next best thing – hosting a first round match in the 2010 WVIAC Tournament.

The Lady Lions hoped to be the #3 seed in the six-team field. But Alderson-Broaddus' 4-1 win over Shepherd on Saturday, October 30 gave the Battlers the 3rd spot and left Concord in 4th.

The winner of Monday's match advances to a semi-final against top-seed and three-time defending WVIAC champion West Virginia Wesleyan on Friday, November 5, in Buckhannon, WV.
