MINNEAPOLIS -- The Augsburg College women's soccer and volleyball teams are both top seeds in the upcoming Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference playoffs, and will host home semifinal games this week.

The Auggie women's soccer team won the outright MIAC regular-season title on Saturday night, and will receive a first-round bye in the MIAC playoffs. Augsburg (14-4 overall, 9-2 MIAC) will host No. 5-seed St. Thomas (8-6-4 overall, 6-3-1 MIAC), which claimed a shootout win over No. 4-seed Saint Benedict in a quarterfinal on Tuesday (11/4), on Wednesday (11/5) at 7 p.m. at Edor Nelson Field. Should Augsburg win on Wednesday, it would host the other semifinal winner in the conference playoff title game at Edor Nelson Field on Saturday (11/8) at a time to be determined.

The Auggie volleyball team claimed a share of the MIAC regular-season title with St. Thomas for the second year in a row, earning the No. 1 seed in the playoffs and a first-round bye by virtue of its win over the Tommies earlier in the season. Augsburg (22-4 overall, 10-1 MIAC) will host No. 4-seed Saint Mary's (20-12 overall, 7-4 MIAC), which topped No. 5 Bethel 3-1 in Tuesday's quarterfinal match, on Thursday (11/6) at 7 p.m. at Si Melby Hall. Should Augsburg win on Thursday, it would host the other semifinal winner in the conference playoff title game at Si Melby Hall on Saturday at a time to be determined.

In each case, the conference's playoff champion will receive the MIAC's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III national playoffs.

Tickets for the playoff events are $7 for adults and $3 for students (children 5 years old and younger are free). There are no senior discounts. ALL patrons, including Augsburg students, staff and faculty, must pay admission. The only passes honored are MIAC-issued passes.

The Augsburg athletic department will pay for admission for the first 150 Augsburg students at the door for each of its home playoff games. Students must bring and show their Augsburg student ID in order to receive the free admission.

Augsburg fans are also encouraged to wear their Augsburg MAROON for all Auggie playoff games!

Augsburg will also have a video webcast and live statistics of each playoff game, available on its GameCentral portal via Stretch Internet.
