The men's soccer team wrapped up regular season play last week with crucial ties against two other play-off bound teams, Fontbonne University and Greenville College.

Webster's final St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference record of 6-0-3 was the best in the SLIAC and earned the team the number one seed in the upcoming conference tournament.

The Gorloks will play fourth place conference team, the Westminster College Blue Jays, (3-3-1) Nov. 2 at 2 p.m. This match-up is a favorable one for Webster, since they beat the Jays in their two previous regular season meetings. Webster won both games by a combined score of 4-0.

The end of season ties allowed the Gorloks some respite from potentially having to play both Fontbonne and Greenville in the play-offs, two teams the Gorloks have bent, but not broken against, enduring overtime thrillers in each meeting. Instead, both teams will battle in another tournament game while Webster, provided they get past Westminster, await the winner.

The winners of these two games will play in the SLIAC Tourney Semi-Finals at 2 p.m. Nov. 5 at the Anheuser-Busch Soccer Park in Fenton, Mo.
