SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. – The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference men's and women's soccer games between Millersville University and Slippery Rock University Oct. 30 at Mihalik-Thompson Stadium have been selected as Tourbeau's National Games of the Week on NSCAATV.com.

The Tourbeau Sports production crew will stream both games live to a national audience in high definition via the links posted above, through the National Soccer Coaches Association of America website.

The doubleheader will begin with The Rock's nationally ranked men's team taking on regionally ranked Millersville at 1 p.m. in a game that could have a significant impact on the conference and NCAA playoff picture for both teams.

The Rock's nationally ranked women's team will then take on regionally ranked Millersville at 3:30 p.m. in another game that could have significant impact on conference playoff seeding and the NCAA tournament hopes of each squad.

This is the only Division II men's and women's doubleheader that NSCAATV will feature during the 2013 regular season and just the fourth time NCAA Division II programs will be featured as the Game of the Week. The other three NCAA Division II games that were featured were all men's games.

"We're very excited for the opportunity to provide a live, high definition broadcast of our two outstanding soccer programs to a national audience," said Paul Lueken, Slippery Rock director of athletics.

"This is a great opportunity to showcase Slippery Rock soccer and our excellent program to the nation," said head men's coach Michael Bonelli.

"We are very happy that NSCAATV is going to honor Slippery Rock and Millersville by showing our game to their national audience," added Rock head women's coach Noreen Herlihy.
