The men’s soccer team celebrates at a September game against Western Nebraska Community College.

The men’s soccer team finished at 10-7-7. The team won the Region IX Northwest Plains District Championship beating Otero College. The final score was T, 1-1. Because they were the Region IX winners, they went on to the 2023 NJCAA D1 Men’t Soccer Chapionship in Wichita, Kan. In the national tournament, the T-Birds entered pool play with two other teams. If there was a team in the group that could beat the other two opponents, then that team moved in to tournament play. In the first game against Arizona Western College, the T-Birds lost 1-0. The next game was against Louisiana State University-Eunice. The T-Birds won that match 2-1. However, Arizona Western College also beat Otero, so AWC moved on.

The Lady T-Birds lost their first match to Miami Dade College and went to the consolation round where they beat Blinn College and New Mexico Junior College. In the game to determine ninth place, they lost to Indian Hills Community College and placed 10th in the tournament and in the country.
