IRVINE, Calif. – For the first time in program history, the Concordia University Irvine women's soccer team will be hosting a NCAA DII Regional playoff round.

The Golden Eagles earned the No. 2 seed in the west region and will face a familiar foe in their rivals from Biola University on Friday, Nov. 13. The game will be played on the campus of UC Irvine.

Concordia will staff three playoff games. No. 3 seed and CCAA Tournament champion Cal State Los Angeles and No. 6 seed UC Merced will face off Friday afternoon at 12 p.m. PT before Concordia tangles with Biola at 3 p.m. for the third time in two weeks.

CUI defeated Biola 3-1 on Senior Night nearly two weekends ago. The rematch between the two programs was this past Saturday, when an epic defensive battle went to penalty kicks after a scoreless 110 minutes and Biola ultimately prevailed 5-4 in the shootout.

The third match between the two PacWest foes from Southern California features the two leading scorers in the conference. Concordia captain Ashley Grubert net 12 goals this season as a senior, while Briley Phelps also scored a dozen times for Biola in the regular season.

On the other side of the bracket, GNAC Tournament champion Western Washington snagged the top seed in the region and gets a first round bye. No. 4 seed and CCAA regular season champion Cal Poly Pomona meets No. 5 seed Simon Fraser on Friday for a chance at the Vikings on Sunday.
