HELENA, Mont. -- The NAIA announced the final 16-team field and the first round matchups for the NAIA Football Championship Series on Sunday.

After securing an automatic bid with a win over College of Idaho on Saturday, Carroll was selected as the 16th seed and will travel to Sioux City, Iowa to take on the top-seeded Morningside Mustangs.

The Saints finished the regular season as Frontier Conference Co-Champions with a 3-1 record, and are in the playoffs for the first time since 2014 in their second season under Head Coach Troy Purcell. 

Morningside is 8-0 this season, and has won the last two NAIA National Championships. Their last game was on November 21, 2020, as they played their season in the fall. 

The first round bout between the Saints and Mustangs will take place this Saturday, April 17, at 12 p.m. in Sioux City, Iowa.
