If they win and get past the Hokies, it's out to LA for them. If it's any consolation, if they KEEP winning, they'll come back to the Mid-Atlantic for the rest of their games.

IU got the #3 seed and will be at home until they lose or make the final four.

St Johns will be hosting their game against (16)Dartmouth. According to the St John's athletics website "Dartmouth earned a first-round bye and the right to host a second-round game, but did not opt to hold the game on its home field." (Source: http://redstormsports.collegesports.com/sports/m-soccer/recaps/111805aaa.html)

I've added spacing to show which pairings will feed each third round game. The host school for each game should be the higher-seeded team, barring schedule conflicts.
