WINONA LAKE – For the fifth straight season, Grace’s men’s soccer team will head south to end its season.

The Lancers earned a spot in the 2019 NCCAA National Championship, to be held in Kissimmee, Fla., from Dec. 2-7.

Grace is the No. 4 seed in the nine-team tournament. Each team will play two pool play matches. The winner of each of the three pools, along with the top runner-up, will advance to the national semifinals.
