Tournament Bracket
INDIANAPOLIS – In the first round of the 2017 Great Lakes Valley Conference Women's Soccer Championship Tournament, all four of the top seeds advanced to Friday's semifinal matches, which will be held in Indianapolis, Indiana, at Carroll Stadium on the campus of IUPUI.
Top-seed Quincy University had no trouble defeating No. 8 University of Illinois Springfield, 3-0, just seven days removed from narrowly escaping an upset bid by the Prairie Stars, coming back for a 3-2 win in their regular-season contest. In today’s quarterfinal, the Hawks scored the game-winner in the 12th minute before adding two insurance goals less than three minutes apart at 86:08 and 88:26. This will be Quincy’s 12th visit to the semifinal round of the GLVC Championship Tournament.
No. 2 seed McKendree University defeated No. 7 University of Indianapolis, 2-1, as the Bearcats notched a goal in each half after taking 19 shots and putting 10 on goal. McKendree will be making its second consecutive trip to the semifinals and will get a chance to defend their league title in Indianapolis.
In its first-ever postseason appearance, No. 3 Maryville University topped No. 6 Truman State University, 1-0, on a penalty kick opportunity in the 34th minute, following a foul in the box. The Saints put seven of its 11 shots on goal en route to the victory.
No. 4 Bellarmine University will enjoy its 10th semifinals berth in program history after advancing past No. 5 University of Southern Indiana in penalty kicks. The teams played to a 0-0 double overtime draw with the Knights getting the 4-3 result in PKs. Both goalkeepers made two saves in the shootout, which went to six rounds, but USI’s third shooter missed high over the crossbar that proved to be the difference.
This is the eighth time in GLVC women's soccer history, dating back to 1995, that the top seeds all advanced, while it's the fourth time in the past five years and third in a row.
