The Clovis Community College men's soccer team is headed back to the postseason after a one-year absence. On Sunday, the Crush were named the No. 23 seed for the upcoming Northern California Regional Playoffs.

Ticket prices for the 3C2A postseason game are $12 for general admission and $8 for all identified students, faculty, staff, senior citizens age 60 and over, and children under 12 years old. Tickets are available online in advance at the SRJC Athletics tickets page.

Under second-year head coach Yaw Danso, the Crush finished fifth in the Central Valley Conference at 1-4-5. Clovis enters the postseason with a 3-7-8 overall record. Clovis is one of five CVC programs to earn a spot in the playoffs.
