Oklahoma Baptist University will be the host for two first-round Sooner Athletic Conference Soccer Tournament matches this weekend.

The Lady Bison, seeded fourth in the SAC, will host fifth-seeded Northwestern at 2 p.m. on Friday.

The Bison are seeded second and will square off with St. Gregory's, the seventh seed in the seven-team tournament.

OBU's women won at Northwestern 3-1 on Oct. 11. The Lady Bison built a 3-0 lead in that game with goals from Autumn Oury, Angie King and Lauren Aldred before the Rangers scored in the 89th minute.

The OBU women are led in scoring by Katya Arruda, who has 13 goals and Oury, who has a school-record 11 assists.

The Bison were the only team in the SAC that didn't hang a loss on St. Gregory's. The Cavaliers and OBU played to a 0-0 tie.

Unlike regular season games, the SAC Tournament contests carry an admission charge of $5 for adults and $3 for students.
