The Rio Hondo College men's soccer team is back in the postseason for the first time since 2018. On Monday, the California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA) released the bracket for the upcoming Southern California Regional Playoffs.
The Roadrunners received the No. 11 seed and will host No. 22 MiraCosta College in a first-round playoff game on Wednesday (Nov. 16) at 6:00 p.m.

Rio Hondo, under head coach Orlando Brenes, enter the playoffs with an 11-9-3 overall record and were co-champions of the South Coast Conference North Division with a 5-3-1 mark. It was the Roadrunners' first conference title since claiming a Foothill Conference championship in 2013.
