INDIANAPOLIS – The NCAA released the Division II football playoff bracket on Sunday evening and Notre Dame College was named the three seed in Super Region One. The Falcons will host Slippery Rock University, on Mueller Field. The game is scheduled for Nov. 20 with a 12 p.m. kickoff time.

The top seven teams from the four Super Regions earned a bid into the playoffs and the No. 1 seeds will receive a bye in the first round. Kutztown University took the top spot in Super Region One.

Notre Dame and Slippery Rock are not strangers, as they went head-to-head in the 2018 and 2019 playoffs. The Falcons defeated SRU, at home, by a score of 21-17 in the 2018 NCAA Quarterfinals. The Rock hosted the 2019 matchup, also in the quarterfinals, and snuck past NDC in a 65-59 shootout.

"We are very excited to make the playoffs again," said head coach Mickey Mental. "We are looking forward to playing a great program like Slippery Rock at home."

NDC just won their fourth consecutive Mountain East Conference title on Saturday, when they defeated Alderson Broaddus University by a score of 72-7. The Falcons finished the regular season with a 10-1 record overall, and a 9-1 mark in conference play. They are ranked No. 6 in the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) top 25 poll.

Slippery Rock went up against Kutztown in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Championship, yesterday. The two teams combined to score 26 points in the fourth quarter, but Kutztown held on to win, 38-32. Slippery Rock finished the season with a 9-2 record (6-1 PSAC) and is currently No. 10 in the AFCA poll.

Shepherd University holds steady at the two seed following a 55-0 win over Clarion, to give the Rams 10 wins on the season. They will host the University of Findlay, who earned a playoff spot with a win against Tiffin University in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference title game.

The University of New Haven is the four seed and will play Bentley University in a rematch of their Nov. 6 matchup, which went UNH's way, 31-14. That is battle of two teams from the Northeast-10 Conference.

Tickets are $10 for general admission and $5 for students and will be sold at the gate.
