HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. - The Northern Kentucky University men’s soccer team will meet Rockhurst at 6 p.m. Friday in the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament semifinals at St. Louis, Mo.

NKU enters that game with an 11-7-2 record, while Rockhurst is 13-4-1. The Norse are the No. 6 seed, while Rockhurst - which posted a 5-0 win over NKU earlier this season - is the No. 2 seed.

Top-seeded Southern Illinois at Edwardsville will play No. 4 seed Quincy in the other GLVC Tournament semifinal Friday.

The GLVC Tournament championship game is set for 1 p.m. Sunday.

NKU took advantage of a Wisconsin-Parkside own goal in the second half last Sunday to post a 2-1 upset over the third-seeded Rangers in the first round of the GLVC Tournament. The misplayed ball by Wisconsin-Parkside in the 71st minute eluded goalie Victor Perez and bounced into the net to give NKU a 2-1 lead.

NKU held on to post a victory in the GLVC Tournament for the first time since 1997.

Tony Capurro scored his fifth goal of the season in the win over Wisconsin-Parkside.
