SEATTLE (Nov. 14) ­ The top two teams in the NCAA Division II women's soccer rankings will meet prematurely when No. 1 Metro State (Co.) visits No. 2 Seattle Pacific University for a quarterfinal round game Saturday afternoon. Kickoff is 1 p.m. at Interbay Stadium.

Both the Falcons (19-0-3) and Roadrunners (23-0-0) are undefeated this season. SPU won the Far West Region by beating UC San Diego 2-0 last Saturday. Metro took the Midwest with a 1-0 victory over Denver crosstown rival Regis Sunday.

Metro State (23-0-0) is the defending national champion and inherited the No. 1 mantle from Seattle Pacific after the Falcons were eliminated in the second round of the '04 NCAA tournament.

The quarterfinal winners advance to the semifinals, to be held Dec. 1 in Wichita Falls, Tex.

Tickets for Saturday's game go on sale Tuesday in the Brougham Pavilion ticket office. Prices are $7 for general admission, with youth and student $3.
