Scorpions To Host Texas Wesleyan in Men's Soccer Playoff Game
Posted November 2,  2007
The UTB/TSC men's soccer team will host Texas Wesleyan University at 7 p.m. Saturday, November 3, at Morningside Park in a NAIA Region VI first-round playoff game.

The game will be webcast on athletics.utb.edu, starting at 6:55 p.m.

"We're so happy for our community and our student-athletes that we can host a playoff game during our first year of soccer," UTB/TSC Director of Athletics Dan Huntley said. "It will allow us to showcase our teams one more time in front of the greatest fans in the world."

The Scorpion men's team will meet sixth-seeded Texas Wesleyan University, the only other Red River Athletic Conference in the regional playoff.

UTB/TSC defeated Texas Wesleyan, 1-0, during the regular season, and again in the RRAC Tournament championship on penalty kicks, 3-1, after the two teams battled to a 0-0 tie after 110 minutes.

The Region VI first-round playoff games are played at the home fields of the higher seeds. In the other first-round matchup on the men's side, fourth-seeded Oklahoma Christian University hosts Rogers State University. The winners of Saturday's first-round games advance to the semifinals Monday, November 5, in Oklahoma City.

The finals are scheduled Tuesday, November 6, in Oklahoma City.

The No. 1 seed on the men's tournament is Southern Nazarene, which will play the winner of the Oklahoma Christian-Rogers State game. Second-seeded Oklahoma City University will play the winner of the Scorpions-Southern Nazarene game.
