Central earned the No. 4 spot in the eight-team playoff following a 12-4-2 regular season campaign. The Tigers of Hays, Kan. are the fifth-seed in the tournament after posting a 10-5-2 record this fall.

UCO has a 7-4-1 all-time advantage in the series, though FHSU won 2-1 in Edmond earlier this season. The Bronchos will bring the top-rated scoring offense in the MIAA into the postseason. Central's 3.06 goals per game is No. 1 in the league and the 10th-best mark in the country.

This will be Central Oklahoma's eighth trip to the MIAA Tournament since joining the league eight years ago.
