ROCK STEADY AT NO. 4. IN ATLANTIC REGION NPI RANKINGS
Slippery Rock stayed at No. 4 in the Atlantic Region NCAA Power Index Rankings for the fourth straight week when the rankings were released Monday.  

The NCAA Power Index (NPI) is a rankings system used in Division II and Division III to evaluate team performance. NPI considers game results and the strength of opponents to calculate a team's NPI value and ranking.

NPI calculations update throughout the season as teams play additional contests and opponent NPI values change. A team's final NPI is not determined until the final games and rankings of the season are complete.

The NPI takes place of the NCAA's previous regional rankings system and will determine the at-large teams selected to the championship after the automatic qualifiers have been decided.

For more information on the NCAA Power Index click HERE.

The Division II women's soccer playoff field features 56 teams from across the nation, with each region receiving a pre-determined amount of berths based on access ratio.
 
The Atlantic Region has seven spots in the NCAA Tournament this season as the conference champions from the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference and the Mountain East Conference will earn automatic berths in addition to five at-large selections determined by the final NPI rankings.

Slippery Rock enters the PSAC Tournament Quarterfinal Tuesday versus Millersville University with a 14-2-2 overall record and the fourth-best NPI among all teams in the region. The three teams ahead of SRU are No. 4 Kutztown (61.872/ 14-1-2), No. 20 Fairmont State University (60.000/ 15-1-3) and No. 10 West Chester University (59.661 / 13-2-1). SRU is 1-1-2 against the top nine teams in the Atlantic Region in the fourth set of rankings, going 1-0-0 against Frostburg State University, 0-0-2 against Gannon University and 0-1-0 against Fairmont State.

At the top of the region, Kutztown jumped West Chester and Fairmont State to slide into the No. 1 position in the Atlantic Region. Also, Millersville and Point Park University each jumped up one spot to the seven and eight spots, respectively. Shepherd University got bumped two positions from No. 7 in the region to No. 9.

The NCAA will continue to release its NPI Rankings daily until the Selection Monday Nov. 9, where it will hold its rankings to be released until after the selection show. To follow along with the daily NPI Rankings, click HERE.

MILLERSVILLE SCOUTING REPORT
The Marauders enter the matchup with The Rock on a three-game win streak that included a 3-2 win versus Bloomsburg in the first round of the PSAC Tournament. The only team both Millerville and Slippery Rock played in the regular season was Lock Haven. SRU took down the Bald Eagles twice with a combined score of 7-2, while Millersville beat Lock Haven 4-0 to begin the season.

Senior forward Aubrey Strohecker is second in the nation in goals and points. On the season, Strohecker has 49 points on 23 goals and three assists. In the matchup last season with SRU, Strohecker scored two goals and landed one assist.

Sara Edwards is second on Millersville with 15 points on five goals and five assists, while Ashlyn Calabria, who scored the game-winner against Bloomsburg, rounds out the Marauders top three point scorers with 11 points on three goals and five assists.

Freshman goalkeeper Megan Taltavull has started all 18 games for Milersville this season, holding a 1.02 GAA with a .734 save percentage on 47 saves and 17goals allowed. Taltavull also has six solo clean sheets on the season.

LOOKING AHEAD
If Slippery Rock defeats Millersville Tuesday, it will play either No. 10 West Chester or Seton Hill Friday in the PSAC Tournament semifinals. If The Rock were to lose to the Marauders, it would be likely that SRU's season would not be finished, as Slippery Rock has a good chance at earning an at-large berth into the NCAA Tournament.
