STANDISH, ME - The Saint Joseph's College Monks faced off against the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Engineers on Wednesday in a ECAC D III Women's Soccer Championship Quarterfinal match and lost in OT, 1-0. The game was well played with plenty of back and forth action but came to an abrupt ending when SR Janine Hopmans (Davis, CA) scored the game winner in the first minute of OT (90:57) off a pass from teammate SR Amy Ludlum (Mission Viejo, CA). Hopmans took the kick on the run from the right side and found the left corner of the net just past the Monks diving goalkeeper, Katye Mayo (SO, Fairfield, ME).

Mayo was very busy in net, making 12 stops in the match for the Monks. Engineers JR GK Stephanie Brenman (Newton, MA) was credited with 8 saves. SO Anna Willis (Gorham, ME) led St. Joe's with four shots on net and gave the MIT defense a workout with her level of play. FY Mikayla Call (Portland, ME) posted 3 shots for the Monks in the game. JR Katie Jordan (Sandwich, MA) had an impressive game as well for St. Joe's. The forward seemed to be in the middle of all the action and led the way for several scoring attempts.

The Saint Joseph's College Women's Soccer team concludes their first season in the GNAC with a 12-1-2 conference record, 16-2-3 overall. MIT (13-6, 6-3 NEWMAC) advances to the semifinals to play the Brandeis/Emerson College winner on Saturday.
