MOREHEAD, Ky. – Morehead State Soccer's 2020 season comes to a close on Tuesday as it travels to Nashville, Tenn. to face Belmont. The match at E.S. Rose Park is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET.
 
The Eagles are coming off one of the most thrilling victories in recent memory as Colleen Swift's penalty kick in the final minutes of double overtime propelled MSU to a 3-2 win over Austin Peay on Senior Day. The hosting Belmont squad most recently earned its first tie of the season with a 1-1 draw against SIUE.
 
The Bruins, at best, can only finish fifth in the conference, putting them just out of reach of this season's shortened field for the OVC Tournament. After becoming the lowest seed to ever win the tournament a season ago (#6 seed), Belmont has no opportunity to defend its crown as one of Murray State, SIUE, Southeast Missouri, or UT Martin will represent the OVC in the NCAA Tournament this season.
