Big 12 Champion

TOURNAMENT INFORMATIONThe University of Texas and the San Antonio Sports Foundation will co-host the 2008 Big 12 Soccer Championship Nov. 5, 7 and 9 at Blossom Soccer Stadium in San Antonio, Texas. This season marks the 12th consecutive year for the event to be held at the venue. In 1996, the first league soccer championship was at the Anheuser-Busch Conference and Sports Centre in St. Louis, Mo.

The top eight teams, based on conference results determined by a point system, qualify for the Big 12 Championship. A team gets three points for each conference win and one point for each conference tie. Seeding for the single-elimination bracket will be determined by a point system that awards three points for a regular season victory, one point for a tie and zero points for a loss. The winner of Sunday’s championship game will earn an automatic berth to the NCAA Women’s Soccer Championship.

This season also marks the eighth year that eight schools will participate in the league championship. For the first three years, a six-team field was utilized for the postseason event. PAST CHAMPIONSTexas won the 2007 title after defeating Texas A&M. Below is a look at all of the past champions:

1996 - Nebraska; 1997 - Texas A&M; 1998 - Nebraska; 1999 - Nebraska; 2000 - Nebraska; 2001 - Texas A&M; 2002 - Nebraska; 2003 - Oklahoma State; 2004 - Texas A&M; 2005 - Texas A&M; 2006 - Texas; 2007 - Texas
