ST. JOSEPH – A wild final two weekends of the MIAA regular season left the Missouri Western soccer team with the No. 7 seed in the upcoming MIAA Tournament.
Missouri Western will make its third-straight MIAA Tournament appearance on Wednesday, Nov. 2 at second seeded Fort Hays State at 6 p.m. Fort Hays State shared the regular season championship with Central Missouri, but drew the second seed in the postseason tournament. The Griffons lost 3-0 at Fort Hays State in the regular season.
A 6-1 loss at No. 4-ranked Central Missouri Sunday, combined with an Emporia State loss at Nebraska-Kearney and a Lindenwood win over Northwest Missouri State left the Griffons in a three-way tie for fifth place in the MIAA standing with Emporia and Lindenwood. The Griffons drew the seven seed after losses to both earlier this season.
The Griffons end the regular season 11-7 overall and 6-5 in the MIAA. The 11 wins overall are a program record and the six MIAA wins equal the most in program history.
