The CCC enters postseason play with two nationally ranked programs, as Rocky Mountain College climbed to No. 16 and College of Idaho moved up to No. 20 in the final NAIA Women’s Soccer National Selection Committee Top 25 Poll. Six conference teams also appeared in the final West Area Rating Committee standings, highlighting the depth of the field.


No. 2 Seed Southern Oregon University vs. No. 7 Seed Corban University | 10 A.M.
Southern Oregon (8-2-2 CCC) secured the No. 2 seed after winning its final three conference matches, including a 2-0 victory over Warner Pacific to close the regular season. The Raiders enter on a four-match unbeaten streak and rank third in the conference with 36 goals and 26 assists. Sophomore Tori Lasch and junior Ava Johnson lead the offensive attack with 10 goals apiece, while freshman Brycelin Endrikat ranks among the conference's top assist leaders with seven.

Corban (5-5-2 CCC) enters as the No. 7 seed after closing the regular season with an upset victory over No. 16 Rocky Mountain, snapping a three-match winless streak. Freshman Haley Miersma leads the Warriors with six goals, while senior Olivia Fitzpatrick provides playmaking ability with four assists. Sophomore goalkeeper Jordyn Labajo has been a key presence defensively, recording 107 saves.

The two teams met October 24, with Southern Oregon earning a narrow 3-2 victory after scoring three consecutive second-half goals. Lasch delivered the game-winner in the 86th minute before Corban added a late penalty kick. With just one goal separating the teams in their regular-season meeting, the quarterfinal matchup presents another opportunity for a tightly contested battle.

No. 3 Seed Rocky Mountain College vs. No. 6 Seed Carroll College | 10 A.M.
Rocky Mountain (8-4 CCC) earned the No. 3 seed after finishing in a three-way tie for third with Eastern Oregon and Northwest at 24 points. The Battlin' Bears claimed the position through goal differential (+12), ahead of EOU (+9) and Northwest. Rocky Mountain enters ranked No. 16 nationally and has been one of the conference's most productive teams offensively and defensively.

Senior Charlize Davis leads the CCC in conference play with 12 goals, seven assists, and 42 shots on goal. Her offensive production has helped the Battlin' Bears lead the conference with 32 goals. Defensively, sophomore Matea Vernon has been equally impressive, posting a .886 save percentage and seven shutouts in CCC action.

Carroll (6-2-4 CCC) claimed the No. 6 seed with 22 points and brings a balanced lineup into postseason play. Junior Rachel McAllister leads the Fighting Saints offensively with seven goals, while junior Carmen Anderson contributes as the team's assist leader. Senior goalkeeper Maria Ackerman has anchored the defense, ranking among the conference's top goalkeepers with a 0.80 goals against average.

The Montana programs have already demonstrated how closely matched they are, setting the stage for an intense quarterfinal. Carroll held a narrow 5-4 advantage in shots on goal in their regular-season meeting, while both teams showed the ability to create scoring opportunities. With Rocky Mountain's high-powered offense facing Carroll's experienced defensive unit, the matchup could come down to execution in the final third.

No. 1 Seed College of Idaho vs. No. 8 Seed Bushnell University | 1 P.M.
Four-time defending CCC regular-season champion College of Idaho (10-2 CCC) enters as the No. 1 seed after finishing conference play with 30 points. The Yotes have won four consecutive regular-season titles and captured the last three CCC tournament championships. Ranked No. 20 in the final NAIA poll, College of Idaho is looking to extend its tournament winning streak and secure another postseason title.

The Yotes have been especially effective offensively, leading the conference with 118 shots on goal and tying Rocky Mountain for the most assists with 25 in CCC play. Senior Abbi Roubidoux leads the attack, while senior Alondra Osuna and freshman Rylee Russell provide additional playmaking ability. College of Idaho enters the tournament on a five-match winning streak and has earned the conference's first automatic berth to the NAIA National Championships through its regular-season title.

Bushnell (5-6-1 CCC) rounds out the tournament field as the No. 8 seed, earning its second consecutive postseason appearance. The Beacons won two of their final three conference matches to secure their place in the tournament, including a 1-0 victory over Carroll to close the regular season. Freshman Brielle Engle and sophomore Elidia Cervantes Carlos lead the balanced scoring attack with six goals apiece, while sophomore Ohu Miles adds five goals.

College of Idaho defeated Bushnell 3-1 in their regular-season meeting behind a standout performance from Roubidoux, who scored three goals in less than 10 minutes. The Yotes controlled much of the contest, finishing with a 16-8 advantage in shots and a 9-3 edge in shots on goal. Bushnell will look to slow the conference's top offensive attack and challenge the three-time defending tournament champions.

No. 4 Seed Eastern Oregon University vs. No. 5 Seed Northwest University | 1 P.M.
Eastern Oregon (8-4 CCC) claimed the No. 4 seed after finishing tied for third in the conference standings with 24 points. The Mountaineers enter the tournament on a four-match winning streak, having outscored opponents 8-0 during that stretch. EOU ranks among the conference's top teams offensively and defensively, with a balanced scoring attack led by sophomore Cassidy Harding, who has five goals, and junior Gracie Rainsberry, who leads the team with four assists. Freshman goalkeeper Elysa Morse has also been a key part of the Mountaineers' defensive success.

Northwest (8-4 CCC) earned the No. 5 seed after also finishing with 24 points. The Eagles secured their tournament position through a three-way tiebreaker, finishing behind Rocky Mountain and Eastern Oregon on goal differential. Northwest has built its success around a disciplined defensive approach, with four of its nine conference victories coming by 1-0 margins. Junior Lily McMullen leads the team with four assists, while six different players have contributed two goals apiece.

The two teams met in their final regular-season match last week, with Eastern Oregon earning a 1-0 victory on a first-half penalty kick from Peyton Jacaway. The Mountaineers controlled the offensive pressure, finishing with a 20-6 advantage in shots and a 12-2 edge in shots on goal. Northwest will look to reverse that result and slow EOU's attack in a matchup between two teams that finished level in the conference standings.

The tournament champion will earn the CCC's second automatic berth. If College of Idaho advances to the championship match, its opponent will secure the automatic qualification regardless of the final result.
