DENTON (10/28/05) - The North Texas women's soccer team is just one win or tie away from clinching its third regular season Sun Belt Conference Championship this weekend when it finishes its regular season with games against Western Kentucky and Middle Tennessee.

The Mean Green will wrap up the top seed in the conference tournament with a win or tie at either Western Kentucky or Middle Tennessee. North Texas leads the series with Western Kentucky 2-1-1. The Mean Green are 1-0-1 on the road against the Hilltoppers, winning 3-1 in 2001 and playing to a 1-1 draw in 2003. The Mean Green is 5-1-1 against Middle Tennessee. The two teams shared the regular season conference title last season. North Texas is 2-1 against the Blue Raiders on the road.
