RIVER FOREST, Ill. – The CUW women's soccer season came to an end on Tuesday afternoon in the NACC Tournament Semifinal match. The Falcons were defeated by the No. 1 seed Dominican, 4-1.

"I thought we played very well in the first half," said head coach Ryan Middendorf. But we just could not overcome a very determined and organized Dominican team in the second half. I couldn't be more proud to have been the coach of this senior class. They have meant a tremendous amount to this program and helped me to personally grow as a coach and as a person. They have certainly left this program in a better place."
