RICHARDSON, Texas –– Texas-Tyler posted a 9-2-1 mark in league play to win the regular season title and earn the right to host the 2010 American Southwest Conference Men's Soccer Championship Tournament, to be held Nov. 5-7 at Citizens 1st Bank-Perkins Soccer Complex in Tyler, Texas.

Head coach Kenny Jones' Patriots (10-3-1) also earned a first-round bye as the No. 1 seed. UT Tyler will be serving as host of the ASC tournament for the second time in program history. The Patriots' first go-round came in 2008 when they claimed the league title. Mississippi College (12-4, 9-3 ASC) locked up the No. 2 seed and also earned a bye in the first round.

Two-time ASC champion Texas-Dallas (11-4-2, 8-2-2) will be the No. 3 seed, followed by Mary Hardin-Baylor (12-3-1, 9-3-1 ASC), which reached the title match last season. Howard Payne (12-4-1) and defending champion Hardin-Simmons (11-5) had identical 9-4 league marks but HPU earned the No. 5 seed and HSU took the sixth spot due to the conference's head-to-head tiebreaker.

Friday's first-round matchups include UMHB against HPU at 11 a.m., with the winner getting UT Tyler in Saturday's 11 a.m. semifinal. HSU and UTD will duel on Friday at 2 p.m., with the victor going against MC at 2 p.m. on Saturday in the semifinals. The championship game is slated for 1 p.m. Sunday.
