UST went 5-3-1 in conference play for 16 points and closed the regular season on a three-game winning streak. The Celts are 7-7-2 overall.

Few programs in the SCAC have UST's postseason track record. The Celts have qualified for six of the last seven SCAC Tournaments, reached the championship match five times in that span and won three titles. Those three SCAC Tournament championships are the most of any current conference program, and UST holds a 7-1-3 all-time record in tournament play.

The Celts open the tournament Thursday, Nov. 5, at 5 p.m. CT at Round Rock Multipurpose Complex against No. 5 Texas Lutheran, the defending tournament champion. The winner faces top-seeded Colorado College in Friday's first semifinal.

The stakes are high. The SCAC champion earns an automatic bid to the NCAA Division III National Championship, and the title match is set for Sunday, Nov. 8, at 2 p.m. CT.
