INDIANAPOLIS – Fresh off wrapping up a 9-1 regular season, the UIndy football team was one of just 28 schools to earn a spot in the 2019 NCAA Division II Playoffs, as announced Sunday evening. The Greyhounds will be making a program-first third consecutive trip to the postseason after securing what essentially amounts to the No. 5 seed in Super Region Three.
 
UIndy's reward is a 450-mile road trip to fourth-seeded Central Missouri. The previously-unbeaten Mules (10-1) endured their first and only loss in the season finale Saturday, falling on the road to rival Northwest Missouri State. The first-round matchup is set for 2 p.m. ET on Saturday, Nov. 23 in Warrensburg, Mo.
 
The NCAA announced the entire 2019 postseason field Sunday evening on NCAA.com. The top seed in SR3 (and corresponding first-round bye) went to the undefeated champions of the GLIAC, Ferris State (10-0). The winner of the UIndy/UCM matchup will head to Ferris State for a second-round clash Saturday, Nov. 30.
 
On the other half of the SR3 bracket, GAC-champion and No. 2-seed Ouachita Baptist (11-0) will host the GLVC champs from Lindenwood (8-2), while aforementioned Northwest Missouri State earned the three seed and a home game versus Harding (10-1).
 
UIndy will be making its third straight postseason trip and sixth in the last eight years. The Greyhounds also qualified in 2012, '13, '15, '17 and '18, with last fall featuring a first-round win against Fort Hays State, 38-27.
