HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. - The Northern Kentucky University women’s soccer team will play host to the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament semifinals at 5 p.m. Friday at the Town & Country Sports Complex in Wilder, Ky.

The top-seeded Norse (16-2-0) will meet No. 4 seed Rockhurst (12-5-1) in that game. In the other semifinal game at 7:30 p.m. Friday, No. 2 seed Southern Illinois at Edwardsville (16-4-0) will meet No. 3 seed Wisconsin-Parkside (14-4-0).

The GLVC championship game is set for noon Sunday.

Ticket prices for the event are $6 per day for adults, and $3 for students and senior citizens. NKU students will be admitted free to the GLVC Tournament.

NKU is ranked sixth nationally in the NCAA Division II poll, and SIUE is 21st. NKU won five consecutive GLVC Tournament championships from 1998-2002. The Norse finished as runner-up in that event the past two years to Wisconsin-Parkside.

NKU is 46-1-4 against GLVC opponents at the Town & Country Sports Complex since moving its home games to the Wilder facility in 1998.

Amy Law scored a goal and assisted on another last Sunday as NKU began the GLVC Tournament with 4-0 victory over Saint Joseph’s. Alex Armstrong finished with two assists for NKU, which extended its winning streak to 12 games.

Kristen Votapek tallied her GLVC-leading 15th goal of the season in that game. Votapek also leads the GLVC in assists with 16 this season.

The Norse are No. 1 in the latest NCAA Division II Great Lakes Region rankings. If NKU remains No. 1 in the Great Lakes Region, the Norse will play host to the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament Nov. 11-13.

The Nov. 11 game times will be 5 & 7:30 p.m. if NKU is selected to be the host for the NCAA Division II Great Lakes Regional. The championship game will be at noon on Nov. 13.
