Tigers fall short in opening round of NCAA Tournament

PULLMAN, Wash. – A historic season came to a close for No. 14/12 Memphis women's soccer, as the Tigers dropped a 1-0 contest at Washington State Friday evening in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.

After a scoreless first half, the deciding score came in the 61st minute for the Cougars.

"It was a tough one. We knew we were going against a tough opponent," head coach Brooks Monaghan said. "Our players played with the hearts on their sleeve and gave it their all. I'm proud of them."

The Tiger defense provided a stout effort from the opening whistle, turning away an early offense attack from the home side.
