Women's Soccer Gearing Up for First NCCAA National Tournament Appearance

Kissimmee, Fla. -- The Mid-America Christian University Lady Evangels are preparing for their NCCAA National Tournament tomorrow (Dec 2) in Kissimmee, Fla. 

The Lady Evangels are the sixth seed in Pool A and will begin the tourney against No.9 seed Shorter University tomorrow followed by a tilt with top-seeded Grace College on Wednesday (Dec. 3). 

Each match is slated to begin at 1 p.m. (CST)

From there, the winners of the three pools will advance to the final four along with one wild card that has accumulated the most points of a non-pool winner. Each school receives three points for a win, one point for a tie and 0 points for a loss. 

The semifinals are scheduled for Dec. 5, with the championship match taking place on Dec. 6.  

The Lady Evangels, under co-head coaches Zach Bice and Evan Dresel, are 13-6 on the season and are led by Chelsea Swisher's 17 goals and a team-high nine assists from Cici Mitchell.

Goalkeeper Kaitlyn Whitten has also been solid in the net, recording seven shutouts and 80 saves this year.
