GREAT FALLS, Mont. -- The University of Providence men's soccer program will be competing in the Cascade Collegiate Conference postseason tournament for the first time since 2018.
 
Head coach Will Hander on the CCC tournament berth stated, "I made a promise to our returners that if they bought into what we were trying to do with this program, we will make the conference tournament, and it is an honor to come through on that promise. Our program hasn't been to the conference tournament since 2018 so it's great to get back to postseason play."

How They Got There
The Argos went 7-8-2 this season and 5-6-2 in conference play after finishing 2-11-1 and 2-8-1 last season.
