NCAA Regional Rankings
 
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – With the regular season drawing to a close Wednesday evening, the seventh-ranked Colorado School of Mines women's soccer team finds themselves in prime position for the postseason on the national stage as they check in at #2 in this week's NCAA regional rankings.
 
The regional rankings determine the top teams from each of the eight regions that qualify for the NCAA Division II Championship. Mines has been one of eight teams under consideration since the preliminary unordered list released on October 29. One again this week, the rankings featured four teams from the RMAC and four teams from the LSC.
 
National #1 Dallas Baptist (16-1-0) leads the region followed by the Orediggers. Colorado Mesa (13-1-2) and UCCS (12-2-4) follow in third and fourth. Midwestern State (10-1-6) is fifth with Texas Woman's (13-2-3) moving up one spot to sixth followed by UT Tyler (10-2-5) in seventh. Regis dropped from the rankings this week, replaced by Fort Lewis (11-4-3) to round out the top eight in the region. The top six teams in the region following the conclusion of the conference tournament championships will be selected to the 2025 NCAA Division II Women's Soccer Championship.
 
The Orediggers (13-2-3, 9-1-2) compete in the semifinals of the RMAC Women's Soccer Championship Wednesday night in Grand Junction against UCCS. The winner of that match advances to Saturday's championship at 5 p.m. against the winner of the match between Colorado Mesa and Fort Lewis.
