The Basics

Records: Roberts Wesleyan 12-5-2 | Bridgeport 18-1-1
Location: Knights Field - Bridgeport, Conn.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Roberts Wesleyan women's soccer's run in the East Coast Conference championship came to an end with a 4-0 loss to top-seeded Bridgeport this afternoon.

The No. 2-seed Redhawks were unable to muster the offense needed as they were out-shot 30 to 6 in their first ever ECC championship appearance.

Despite the loss, Roberts Wesleyan ends the season with a potential at-large bid to the NCAA tournament, which will be announced Monday evening.

Turning Point
Roberts Wesleyan kept the score at 1-0 until the 69th minute when Bridgeport's Flo Gamby scored her sixth goal of the season before the Purple Knights tacked on additional goals in the 74th and 75th minutes to put the game away.

Individual Leaders
- Mary Kate Eckert was busy throughout the game, recording a season-high 13 saves in the loss.
- Junior midfielder Bella Mitrevski paced the team with three shots, placing two on frame.

Inside the Box Score
- A single yellow card was issued to Bridgeport's Lauren Mengel in the 18th minute.
- Like LIU Post in the semifinal, Bridgeport tallied seven corner kicks to the Redhawks' one corner kick opportunity.

News & Notes
- Bridgeport, who came into the game ranked No. 7 in the nation, was the Redhawks' fifth game facing a nationally-ranked team.
- The shutout was just the second of the season for Roberts Wesleyan. The other shutout loss came on the road at then-No.1 Gannon.
- Eckert's 13 saves was a season-high for the freshman and the most since the 2013 season when Marissa Sell tallied 15 saves on Oct. 18 at home against Bridgeport.

Up Next
Roberts Wesleyan will await word of an at-large bid to the NCAA Division II championship tournament, which will be announced Monday evening.
