HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Riding an unbeaten streak of eight games to close the regular season, the No. 14-ranked Hutchinson Community College women’s soccer team is the No. 3 seed for the 2024 Region 6 Tournament, which begins this weekend at home sites.

The Blue Dragons (9-2-6) will play host to sixth-seeded Dodge City (4-9-4) at 2 p.m. on Sunday at the Salthawk Soccer Complex.

Hutchinson qualifies for its 20th-straight Region 6 Tournament. The Blue Dragons are 23-19 all-time in the Region VI Tournament, including 14-5 in the opening round. The Dragons are 10-2 in opening-round home games.

This will be only the second all-time postseason meeting between Hutchinson and Dodge City. The only other time the Blue Dragons and Conquistadors meet in the Region 6 Tournament was an opening-round game in 2011, a 13-0 Hutchinson victory.

The Blue Dragons swept the 2024 season series with Dodge City. Hutchinson defeated Dodge City 3-0 on September 4 in Dodge City. The Dragons claimed a 2-0 win over the Conquistadors on October 5 in Hutchinson.

The Hutchinson-Dodge City winner will play the Butler-Seward County winner on Thursday, November 5 at the highest-remaining seed.
