SEATTLE (Nov. 8) ­ Just two undefeated women's soccer teams remain in NCAA Division II, and only one will have a chance to play for the national championship.

No. 2-ranked Seattle Pacific University (17-0-3) and No. 1 Metro State (21-0-0) of Denver could conceivably meet in the quarterfinal round of the tournament. They finished the regular season atop the NSCAA/adidas women's soccer coaches poll.

SPU is the top seed in the Far West Regional, which begins Thursday at Interbay Stadium. Metro State is the No. 1 seed in the Midwest. The Far West winner will host the Midwest victor Nov. 19.

Other ranked teams from the Far West Region are No. 13 UC San Diego and No. 19 Cal State Dominguez Hills, which are paired in the first regional semifinal Thursday at 4:30. Seattle Pacific plays Chico State in the nightcap at 7.
