Another November, another NCAA Tournament run for the University of Vermont men's soccer team.

The Catamounts (13-5-2) size up a second straight quarterfinal bid when they travel south to face the fifth-seeded West Virginia Mountaineers in a third-round matchup on Saturday. Game time is set for 4 p.m. on ESPN+.

In its 13th NCAA Tournament appearance, Vermont seeks to repeat its quarterfinal run from a year ago. The Catamounts toppled Rider 3-1 in the opening round at home and then stunned No. 12 Central Florida on Sunday night with a 3-2, double-overtime victory on Carter Johnson's 105th minute header goal.

After a first-round bye, the Mountaineers (15-2-4) defeated Louisville 1-0 at home in the second round. The Vermont-West Virginia winner will play the Loyola Marymount-James Madison winner.
