The Midwest Region’s top-seeded Rockurst Hawks defeated second-seeded and reigning national champion Northern Kentucky Norse by a score of 2-0 on Sunday, Nov. 13 to advance to the NCAA Quarterfinals. The win was No. 600 for Rockhurst’s head coach Tony Tocco, who became the third men’s college coach to reach 600 or more career victories. The Hawks improved to 17-2-2 on the season and have not lost a game since Sept. 18 when they fell to Northern Kentucky, 1-0.

Millersville faced the tough challenge of beating the same team three times in a season in the Atlantic Regional Championship. The Marauders did just that by shutting out California (Pa.) for the third time this season by a score of 1-0 to advance to the NCAA Quarterfinals.

The Marauders are hosting the NCAA Quarterfinals for the second time in four years. In 2008, Millersville fell to Northern Kentucky who advanced 5-4 in penalty kicks (game is recorded as a 1-1 tie).

Millersville and Rockhurst are meeting for the first time. Rockhurst entered the NCAA Tournament ranked No. 6, while Millersville came in at No. 21.
