Eleven soccer teams are attempting to kick their way to a championship in this semester's soccer tournament.

About 60 students in teams like the ACC Warriors, Swag Surfers and Twisters compete and play against each other on Monday evenings in men's 3v3 Round Robin mini soccer tournaments.

"The turnout has been great, and students are really enjoying the season. They bring their friends and family out and have a great time," Student Life Coordinator Jennifer Flowers said.

The last regular season tournament game takes place on Nov. 9 and will be followed by a post-season tournament on Nov. 16 that will crown a champion.

First, second and third place winners in the standings will receive giveaways from Student Life.

Games are played at SoccerZone, an indoor soccer arena, located near the South Austin Campus off of Manchaca Road and Slaughter Lane. See the Student Life website to find out schedule times.

The tournaments are hosted by Student Life's Sports and Intramurals Program, which oversees other activities such as golf lessons, Blazer Tag and the upcoming men's basketball tournament on Nov. 21 at Austin Sports Center.
