SIOUX FALLS, S.D. -- Kansas City clinched its second consecutive Summit League regular season title on Sunday afternoon, knocking off UMass, 3-2. The second bye and both home quarterfinal spots are still up for grabs, looking to get sorted out on the final day of the regular season. 

Kansas City, who is now No. 5 in the USC Top 25, No. 6 in the Top Drawer Top 25 and No. 6 in RPI, were tabbed eighth in the DI Committee’s initial Top 16 rankings. Mark Ramarola scored the opener for the Roos against the Minutemen and Mariano Beunza added a brace, icluding the game-winning goal to earn the win.  The most impressive showing over the weekend came in Minnesota, when St. Thomas earned a 4-0 home victory over Omaha to stay alive for a bye to the semifinals. 

The Tommies, who were held scoreless for over a month leading into Saturday’s contest, got a pair of goals from Oliver Corris in the 21st and 23rd minute to lead UST. They sit in a tie for third place with the Minutemen, who earned a 1-0 victory over the Tommies on Oct. 17 to secure the tiebreaker. 

Delaware and Oral Roberts met in the other conference match this past weekend, playing to a 2-2 draw. Emre Aydin opened the scoring for ORU, netting a goal in the 15th minute before a Mikey Johnson counter in the 20th minute evened the scoring. The Golden Eagles took the lead in the 56th minute but Colin Kelly’s strike in the 86th minute brought the match to a draw. 

Delaware travels to UMass at noon on Saturday with the Minutemen able to finish anywhere from second to sixth and the Blue Hens earning the right to host with a win. The Roos and Mavericks meet in a clash of top-two teams at 5 p.m., with KC locked into the No. 1 seed and Omaha vying for a bye. 

St. Thomas and Oral Roberts meet at 7 p.m., to round out the slate with the Tommies still alive for anywhere between a two and six seed and the Golden Eagles alive for the opportunity to host a quarterfinal match. Teams in The Summit League hold a combined 30-22-15 non-conference record and the League ranks seventh in the country in non-conference RPI.
