SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – The Roger Williams University Men's Soccer team has earned the #5 seed for the Commonwealth Coast Conference Tournament and will travel to the #4 seed Salve Regina University on Saturday for a 12:00 p.m. game.

Gordon College claimed the top seed for the 2013 Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) men's soccer championship, which begins with quarterfinal matchups on campus sites Saturday.

The Fighting Scots (17-1-0 overall) earned the top seed in the conference tournament after posting a near-perfect 8-1-0 record in CCC play.  Gordon, currently ranked 11th in the NSCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division III Men's Soccer National Poll and fourth in the latest NCAA Division III New England Regional Rankings, will host #8 seed Wentworth Institute of Technology (2-14-1, 2-6-1) in a quarterfinal contest Saturday at 11:00 a.m.  This contest will be part of a men's/women's doubleheader.

Other quarterfinal matchups slated for Saturday include #2 seed Western New England University (12-4-3, 6-1-1) hosting #7 seed Curry College (7-7-4, 2-4-3) at 12:00 p.m.  In addition, #3 seed Nichols College (11-1-5, 6-1-2) will host #6 seed Endicott College (9-9-0, 4-5-0) at 1:00 p.m.

CCC tiebreaking procedures were used to determine the second seed in the tournament.  Both Western New England and Nichols completed the regular season with 20 points (6-1-2 CCC).  The Golden Bears were awarded the tournament's #2 seed by virtue of a 2-0 victory in the teams' conference matchup on September 28.

Four CCC teams earned positions in the most recent NCAA Division III New England Regional Rankings released on October 24.  In addition to Gordon holding down the fourth position, Roger Williams (5th), Western New England (7th) and Nichols (10th) received spots in the rankings.

Quarterfinal winners will advance to the semifinal round which will be played on Tuesday, November 5 at the sites of the higher seeds.  Matches are tentatively scheduled for 1:00 p.m.
