INDIANAPOLIS – The Northern Kentucky University women’s soccer team learned its postseason fate on Monday when the Norse were selected to the NCAA Division II Tournament as the No. 3 seed in the Midwest Region.

The Norse (15-3) will travel to Kenosha, Wis., to take on the No. 6 seed Rockhurst in the first round of the tournament on Friday, Nov. 14. The winner of that game will advance to take on the No. 2 seed and host Wisconsin-Parkside on Sunday. Game times have yet to be announced.

On the other side of the Midwest Region bracket, Quincy will face Tiffin, with the winner moving on to face No. 1 seed and undefeated Grand Valley State.

NKU comes off a 2-1 loss at the hands of Wisconsin-Parkside in the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament championship. Rockhurst (10-5-3) fell in the quarterfinal round of the GLVC Tournament to Drury, 1-0.

Rockhurst claimed a 1-0 victory over NKU in the regular-season meeting between the two teams. Danielle Boyce scored the game’s only goal in the 72nd minute while goalkeeper Alyssa Miller made three saves in the shutout. NKU goalkeeper Angela Healy stopped two shots.

This marks the first time NKU has been named to the NCAA Tournament since 2005, when the Norse defeated Wheeling Jesuit, 2-0, before falling to Grand Valley State by the same score.
