LAST MATCH RECAP
The Flames earned a berth in the NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Championship after securing their first Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) championship in program history when they defeated the Illinois State Redbirds 2-1 in a penalty shootout. Following 110 minutes of scoreless action, a penalty shootout determined the conference champion on Sunday. Hannah Gryzik and Kaysey Castro converted their attempts, while Sara Sanabria came up with three huge saves. With an additional Redbird shot hitting off the crossbar, the Flames earned a 2-1 penalty shootout victory, sending them to the NCAA DI Tournament for the first time in program history.
