Fall Championship Events

- Division I: Miami Dade College won its 41st FCSAA State Championship, defeating Polk State College, 3-0. The win also served as the NJCAA Southeast District A Championship, which gave the Sharks a berth in the NJCAA Tournament in Hutchinson, Kan., November 18-20. Despite the loss, Polk State moved into the Southeast District B Championship match, where it defeated Spartanburg (S.C.) Methodist College, 3-1, to punch its own ticket to Hutch. Hillsborough Community College, who knocked off top-seed and No. 1 ranked Florida SouthWestern State College in the FCSAA's third-place match, are candidates for an at-large bid to Hutch.
- Division II: Lake-Sumter State College rallied from a set down and 19-9 in the third to knock off top-seed St. Johns River State College, 3-1, in the FCSAA State/NJCAA Gulf District Championship match. The second-seeded Lakehawks beat third-seed Pensacola State College in Saturday's first match to advance to the final and earn a rematch with the Vikings, who claimed a straight-set win over Lake-Sumter State in Friday's winners' bracket final.
- Men's Soccer - Daytona State College won the NJCAA Southeast District Championship with a 3-2 victory over Richard Bland (Va.) College. Next up for the Falcons is a trip to the NJCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championships in Tyler, Texas, November 15-20.
