DULUTH, Minn. – Northern State University soccer fans and parents who are unable to attend tonight's Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference quarterfinal tournament game at the University of Minnesota Duluth can still follow all the action via live statistics feeds and a streaming video webcast.

Live stats will be available at http://sports.umdbulldogs.com/Soccer/xlive.htm, while the webcast will be carried on the www.northernsun.tv site.

The Wolves are making their 12th straight appearance in the NSIC post-season tournament, this time as the seventh seed in the annual 8-team affair.  NSU has not missed a conference tournament since the program's inception in 1998. 

Second-seeded UMD is hosting its first playoff game since the 2003 season and pits its 13-2-1 overall record (11-1-1 NSIC) against the Wolves' 7-7-6 mark (5-4-4 NSIC) in the 6:30 p.m. match-up.  The Bulldogs took a 2-1 victory over NSU earlier this season in an Oct. 17 match in Aberdeen, snapping what had been a 5-game unbeaten streak for the Wolves.

The winner of tonight's match-up moves on to the tournament semifinals, to be held at the top remaining seed following today's first-round games.  Semifinal games will be held on Friday, with the championship match scheduled for Sunday.
