"It's really exciting," third-year head coach Nate Gibboney said. "I think we are all still just taking it all in at this point. It has been a great ride this year. The guys have earned this. They have earned the respect of the people around the country and to play in the NCAA Tournament next week."
 
The Warriors enter the NCAA Tournament  ranked 18^th in the country by D3soccer.com. The team is third in the MAC Commonwealth in scoring offense (2.57) and lead the league in goals-against average (0.53), where the team sits 15th in the nation. The team is also receiving votes in both the D3soccer.com and NSCAA polls throughout most of the season.
 
The team is paced by three First Team All-MAC Commonwealth selections in sophomore midfielders Abdullahi Abdi (Seattle, Wash./James Garfield) and Jordan Logan (Oxford, Pa./Oxford Area) and 2015 MAC Commonwealth Defensive Player of the Year Kyle Thomas (Bel Air, Md./C. Milton Wright).
 
Logan leads the team with 30 points, as he is third in the MAC Commonwealth with 0.68 goals per game and he is second nationally with seven game-winning goals. Abdi has complimented Logan by notching 29 points, as he leads the league with 0.50 assists per game and he is fifth with 0.56 goals. Thomas leads the team with 1,715 minutes played and he has helped the team post 12 shutouts this season, which is one shy of the program record.
 
Johnson & Wales (17-4 overall) won their third straight Great Northeast Athletic Conference title on Saturday, Nov. 7, with a 1-0 win over Albertus Magnus, with freshman Teagen Drake scoring the game-winning goal in the 79^th minute. Johnson & Wales in the midst of a school-record 12-game winning streak and its 17 wins this year are also a school record. 
 
Dickinson earned an at-large bid and will face Rowan on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. The Red Devils are 12-4-3 on the season and advanced to the championship game of the Centennial Conference Tournament. The Red Devils turned in a repeat performance of the regular season finale, scoring a header off a corner to knock-off nationally-ranked Franklin & Marshall, 1-0, for the second straight Saturday, in the semifinals before falling in the championship game to 12^th-ranked Haverford, 1-0, in the finals.
 
The Profs (16-5 overall) are making their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 2003 and the 25^th overall, also earning an at-large bid. Rowan has won two national championships (1981 and 1990), finished second twice and third two times. Freshman Shane Doherty leads the team with 10 goals and eight assists while freshman goalkeeper Kyle Dennis has a 1.07 goals-against average.
