Clean Sheets tied its single-season consecutive home shutout record (1999, 2003, 2011) this season by recording five straight clean sheets at home - all in October. Coming into the postseason, the Jays have blanked opponents for the last 457:07 in Morrison Stadium dating back to Sept. 22. NCAA Tournament The Bluejays will be looking to lock up the MVC s automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament this weekend. Should CU not win the event, the Bluejays will look to the selection committee to award them their 20th NCAA Tournament appearance in the last 21 years. The Bluejays appeared in 17 straight NCAA Tournaments between 1992 and 2008, before missing the 2009 NCAA event despite an RPI of 35.
