COLUMBIA, KY - The Lindsey Wilson College women's soccer team is the 2009 NAIA National Tournament's top seed, according to the bracket released Sunday, November 15, 2009.

The Blue Raiders host Missouri Baptist University at Walter S. Reuling Stadium in one of 16 opening round games on Saturday, November 21, 2009. The winners advance to the final site in Decatur, AL, beginning on November 30, 2--0.



Lindsey Wilson (17-2-2) received one of the 25 automatic bids given to the conference, independent and unaffiliated champions. The Blue Raiders captured the Mid-South Conference Tournament title last week.

The national tournament appearance is the Blue Raiders 11th in the program's history, including nine straight.

Lindsey Wilson enters Saturday's game on an 18-match unbeaten streak. The Blue Raiders last loss came on August 29, 2009, to Azusa Pacific (CA) University.

Missouri Baptist (12-7-1) reached the 32-team, single elimination tournament as the American Midwest Conference Tournament champions. This is the Spartans first-ever appearance in the national tournament.

Lindsey Wilson and Missouri Baptist split the two all-time meetings with each winning on the other's home field. The Spartans won 3-2 in Columbia in 2002 and the Blue Raiders won 4-0 in 2003.

Kickoff time will be announced today, Monday, November 16, 2009.
