Bloomsburg, Pa. – The No. 15-ranked Millersville University women's soccer team's season came to an end in a heartbreaking 1-0 loss to East Stroudsburg in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on a rainy, cold Friday afternoon at Steph Pettit Stadium.

MATCH HIGHLIGHTS

HEAD COACH MATT PROCOPIO QUOTES
• "I am extremely proud of the girls and all they accomplished this season. Reaching the conference semifinals and being the first team to quality for the NCAA Tournament is a lot to be proud of."
• "Right now, it is hard to see all that we did accomplish as this loss ended our season. However, we broke and set many records and made history. Individually, there were a lot of great things that happened as well. We were a team picked 13th in the preseason poll who finished third, went to the conference semifinals and NCAA Tournament."
• "I think before we look to the future we must remember all that our seniors have done for the program to get to this point. We appreciate all that Lauren (Hoffman), Bailey (Kramer) and Delaney (Meadows) have done for the program, and they will all be missed. The future looks bright for us going forward but that won't be without a lot of hard work and effort. We plan to put in the time, energy, and effort to again compete for the PSAC and NCAA Championships."

• Sophomore Paige Mancini, sophomore Talia Grynkewicz and Meadows all recorded three shots.
