WNCC women's soccer celebration slated for Monday

Western Nebraska Community College will hold a celebration for the women's soccer team on Monday at 9:45 a.m. in the Pit area of the college.

The Cougar women, 11-6-1, captured their second Region IX championship in five years with a 3-1 win over Laramie County Community College earlier in October.

WNCC also moved up to No. 12 in the NJCAA polls from last week's No. 15 ranking. LCCC dropped to No. 13 in the nation.

The Cougar women will head to the district playoffs on Friday and Saturday in Overland Park, Kan. The Cougars first round opponent will be North Idaho College on Friday. A win over NIC would move the women into the district title contest against the Region VI winner from Kansas on Saturday. At stake in the contest is a berth in the national tournament in Chandler, Ariz., Nov. 20-22.
