(BIG RAPIDS, MI, Nov. 8) – The McKendree University women's soccer team fell to Ferris State University 2-0 Thursday afternoon and were eliminated from their third-consecutive NCAA Tournament.

The Bearcats were outshot by the Bulldogs 21 to nine, however McKendree was not short of scoring chances themselves starting with a flurry of opportunities shortly before the end of the first half. Defensively, junior goalkeeper Zoe Brochu (Ajax, Ontario, Canada/Pickering) accumulated 10 saves to cap off the final game of her decorated 2018 season.
 
The women's soccer team concludes their 2018 season with an overall record of 13-5-1, taking home the 2018 Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) regular season title.
