The University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL) women's soccer team has earned the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional for the first time in program history and will host regional tournament games at Don Dallas Soccer Stadium on November 12. On Thursday, No. 4 seed Cedarville (14-2-4) faces No. 5 seed Findlay (13-2-5) at noon, and at 3 p.m. top-seeded UMSL (14-2-3) plays No. 8 seed Saginaw Valley State (12-6-3). The winners meet on Saturday, November 14, for the regional title.
UMSL is ranked ninth nationally and is enjoying an outstanding season; this is the first time the program has entered the NCAA tournament as a No. 1 seed with hosting rights. The university's athletics department said hosting is the result of the team's work all season and gives St. Louis fans a chance to watch at home.
The NCAA Division II women's soccer Midwest Regional is played at two host sites, with UMSL hosting one of them. Two wins would send the Tritons into the next round of the national tournament. Games are open to the public at Don Dallas Soccer Stadium on campus.
