SLIPPERY ROCK — The Slippery Rock University football team (9-2) finished the regular season ranked No. 5 in Super Region One and will travel to No. 4 West Chester (10-1) for a noon kickoff Saturday in the NCAA Division II playoffs.

“We would have loved to play at home, but we’re happy and honored to be one of the 24 teams in the country deemed good enough to compete in the national playoffs,” SRU coach George Mihalik said.

Concord finished first in Super Region One, and joins No. 2 Bloomsburg in getting a first-round bye. No. 3 Virginia State hosts No. 6 LIU Post in the region’s other first-round game.
