The Columbia International University Women's Soccer team has their sights set on capturing their first ever NCCAA South Region Championship. However, the Rams will have to begin their quest in the NCCAA Semi-Finals with a shot at the finals on the line. The Rams will have a slight advantage in the games as they host the tournament this year.

The Rams will open the tournament as the two seed and host the third seed Brewton-Parker College. The Barons seem to be on the rise as they went 6-5-5 this year after not winning any games over the past two years. Thursday's game will kick-off at 7 pm with the winner moving on to face number one seed Warner University on Saturday at 2 pm.

Team Records:
Columbia International: 8-6-4, 4-5-3 AAC
Brewton-Parker: 6-5-5, 1-4-3 SSAC

Season Review:
Columbia International: The Rams opened the season 4-0 which was tied with the best start in program history. The Rams struggled in the middle portion of their season, but closed the last month of the season on a high note going 4-1-2. In the first round of conference playoffs the Rams were matched up with Truett-McConnell University, but fell 1-0 and were knocked out of the playoffs. Over the final seven games of the season the Rams opponents only scored four goals.

Brewton-Parker: The Barons opened up their season going 4-2 with a couple convincing wins. Conference play was a little different story for the Barons as they struggled in the beginning four of their final five games. The Barons defense was dominate in the final games as they only gave up one goal.
