CHARLOTTE - After wrapping up the MACCC title with wins against Southwest Mississippi and Copiah-Lincoln last week, the Northwest Lady Rangers will end the regular season at the top of the NJCAA Division II Women's Soccer Rankings.

Other MACCC programs in the rankings include Pearl River at No. 10, Jones College at No. 12 and 19th-ranked Itawamba.

Northwest will close out the regular season on Tuesday evening, hosting Meridian. The Lady Eagles (8-5-2, 4-4-2 MACCC) are currently seventh in the MACCC standings and are looking to hold on to a playoff slot over eighth-place Copiah-Lincoln (3-5-4, 3-4-3 MACCC).
