Reuling Stadium, 151 Holloway Drive, Columbia, KY, at 11:30 amCT on Saturday, November 18, 2017. The game was originally scheduled to be played at 6pmCT, Saturday, but forecasted weather conditions for Saturday night forced an earlier start time.

Tyler Collishaw leads the team in points (42) and goals (19) after appearing in just 10 games this season. Mwape has a team-high 11 assists and is second in goals (11). The Blue Raiders rank second in the NAIA in goals per game (4.3) and sixth in total goals with 68.

William Woods (13-3-3) qualified for the national tournament as the American Midwest Conference regular season champion. The Owls are making their first-ever appearance in the national tournament. Rodrigo Alves has scored a team-high 13 goals and leads the team in points with 30.

This is just the second meeting between the two programs. Lindsey Wilson won the first ever meeting on September 17, 1999 by a final score of 8-1.

The winner of Saturdays contest will advance to the National Championship final site in Delray Beach, Florida to face the winner of Marymount (CA) and Westmont (CA) on Tuesday, November 28.
