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.
