BOWLING GREEN, Ky. -- Bethel (Tenn.) and Cumberlands (Ky.) each earned one-goal decisions tonight in the 2026 Mid-South Conference Men's Soccer Tournament quarterfinals.

The Wildcats and Patriots join top-seeded Cumberland (Tenn.) in next week's semifinals. Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) and Georgetown (Ky.) meet in the final quarterfinal tomorrow night in Columbia, Ky.

 

Bethel (Tenn.) def. Campbellsville (Ky.) 4-3 (2OT)

Bethel's Victor Vilaca Andrade Cardoso scored in the 107th minute to give the No. 3 seed Wildcats a 4-3, double-overtime win over sixth-seeded Campbellsville in McKenzie, Tennessee.

The Wildcats (7-4-2) scored three unanswered goals to advance to next week's semifinals.

After a scoreless first half, Campbellsville scored two goals in a three-minute span and ultimately took a 3-1 lead in the 72nd minute. Bethel responded as Luiz Antonio Costa Lima and Cardoso scored to tie it 3-3 with under 10 minutes remaining in regulation, setting up the dramatic finish.

Bethel advances to face the winner of Lindsey Wilson and Georgetown. The Wildcats would travel to Lindsey Wilson if the Blue Raiders win, and would host Georgetown if the Tigers win.

 

Cumberlands (Ky.) def. Freed-Hardeman (Tenn.) 1-0

Cumberlands' Leandro Nico Romero Protto scored the game's lone goal in a 1-0 win over Freed-Hardeman (Tenn.) tonight in Williamsburg, Ky.

The fourth-seeded Patriots (7-6-4) avenge last Saturday's loss to the Lions and advance to next week's semifinals.

Protto's goal in the 28th minute was all the Patriots needed, as Zachary Dean stopped a pair of Freed-Hardeman shots to secure the shutout win between the pipes. Cumberlands finished the match with an 11-5 advantage in shots, including 5-2 in shots on goal.

Up next for Cumberlands is a date with top-seeded Cumberland in Lebanon, Tenn.

 

The semifinals are next week, with the championship match slated for Tuesday, Nov. 10, at the highest remaining seed.

The tournament winner earns the conference’s automatic bid to the NAIA National Championships in November.
