MEDFORD – Following 110 scoreless minutes, the Southern Oregon women's soccer team prevailed over Rocky Mountain (Mont.) in the eighth round of a penalty shootout in the semifinals of the Cascade Conference Championships presented by U.S. Bank to advance to its first-ever final and secure an automatic spot in the NAIA Tournament on Monday at Wheeler Field.
Keepers
Ashlyn Fuss of No. 2-seeded SOU (12-2-5) and Matea Vernon of No. 8-seeded RMC (8-8-2) starred with 20 combined saves, and Vernon also nailed a penalty kick in the fifth round to keep the Battlin' Bears alive. But after the Raiders'
Payton Puppe-Wotipka converted to start the eighth round, RMC's attempt skipped wide to end it.
The Raiders will face top-seeded College of Idaho in Wednesday's championship and make their third-ever national postseason appearance.
RMC had also gone through a 10-round shootout in Saturday's quarterfinals.
