The Hope College women's soccer team is heading to the University of Chicago this weekend to kick off the NCAA Division III Tournament.

The Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association champion Flying Dutch (18-2-1 overall) will face Wisconsin-Whitewater (14-3-4) in a first-round match at the University of Chicago at 1:30 p.m. Central Friday at Stagg Field, 5530 South Ellis Avenue in Chicago.

The winner advances to play either Chicago (17-1-0) or St. Catherine, Minnesota (9-6-4) in the second round at Stagg Field.
