Women’s Soccer Soars to WAC Championship Game

Seattle University women's soccer continued its postseason run, knocking off California Baptist, 2-1, in the WAC Tournament semifinals on November 1. With the win, the team advances to the tournament championship game against Grand Canyon on Saturday, November 4. The winner of this match will get an automatic qualifier into the NCAA Tournament. 

In the win over California Baptist, Kait Raffensperger scored the opener and Kaylee Coatney scored the game-winner as the Redhawks avenged their regular season loss to the Lancers. 

Just like the game-winner in SU's opening round win over Southern Utah, the opener in the semifinals came off of a corner. The ball was whipped into the box in the 35th minute and was headed down by Raffensperger to the feet of Nina Prusa, who returned to sender for a shot to the back of the net. It was the third goal of the season for Raffensperger and her first in the run of play on the year. 

Kickoff for Saturday's championship game is scheduled for 1 p.m. and will be broadcast live on ESPN+.
