INDIANAPOLIS – In the first round of the 2018 Great Lakes Valley Conference Women's Soccer Championship Tournament, four teams advanced to Friday's semifinal matches, which will be held in Jeffersonville, Indiana, at the Woerhle Athletic Complex.
Top-seed Truman State University gave up a goal in its quarterfinal against No. 8 Lewis University but had no trouble finishing three goals of its own to collect a 3-1 victory. Things were heading toward an upset in today’s quarterfinal, as the Flyers scored first just 15 minutes into the action. It was the Bulldogs, however, that answered in the 39th minute and picked up the eventual game-winner in the 42nd minute before adding the insurance tally at 65:21. This will be Truman’s fifth visit to the semifinal round of the GLVC Championship Tournament.
No. 2 seed McKendree University was upset by No. 7 Rockhurst University, 2-0, as the Hawks prevented the defending champ Bearcats from earning a three-peat. Rockhurst netted one goal in each half, taking 10 shots and putting eight on goal, and advances to its fifth semifinal contest.
In its 13th postseason appearance, No. 3 University of Southern Indiana topped No. 6 Maryville University, 2-0, as both goals came in the second half within six minutes of each other. The Screaming Eagles hit nine of their 18 shots on frame and now earn their fourth bid to the semifinal round but the first since 1999.
No. 5 Bellarmine University will enjoy its 11th semifinals berth in program history after upsetting No. 4 Quincy University, 2-1, thanks to a pair of goals just before halftime only two minutes apart. The Hawks got one back in the 85th minute but ran out of time to find the equalizer, as that tally was their only shot on goal while the Knights had five.
