... The Match In Few Words
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – For the first time in Washington State soccer history, the Cougs (10-7-4) pushed their way into the third round of the NCAA Championships after advancing past #20 Tennessee (15-4-2) on penalty kicks, 3-1, Friday afternoon in the Florida regional. The Cougs dominated the shootout thanks to three huge saves from Ella Dederick as the redshirt-junior denied three-straight Volunteer attempts. On the other end, the Cougs would not be denied as Maegan O'Neill, Sofia Anker-Kofoed, and Jordan Branch all calmly slotted home their attempts from the spot.
