Pride Ends Women's Season

WINCHESTER, Va. - Fifth-seeded Greensboro College returned the upset favor Tuesday night in the USA South Conference women's soccer Tournament quarterfinals with a 1-0 victory over No. 4 Shenandoah.

Just hours after the fifth-seeded SU men defeated the fourth-seeded Greensboro men, the Greensboro women (8-7-3) turned in the same upset victory.

Shenandoah (9-11-1) was seeking its first-ever semi-final round appearance in the conference tournament, but was done in by a Tessa Hall goal in the 71st minute. Hall collected a rebound of a Kelli Viana shot 10 yards in front of the SU goal and calmly pushed it past Hornet defender Lindsey McCleaf and into the goal.

Shenandoah keeper Kat Terza, who finished with nine saves, was in position for Hall's shot as she had to come off her line to stop Viana's attempt.

Despite being outshot 14-3 in the contest, SU had the best chance to score prior to Hall's game-winner when freshman Kierra Nicholson knocked her 25-yard shot off of the crossbar.

The Hornets had a one solid chance at an equalizer in the final 20 minutes, but Shana Sumers' attempt from just inside the 18-yard box was blocked by a GC defender.

Pride keeper Katie Allegro had to made just one save in posting the shutout.
