The Northwest University Eagle women’s soccer team’s run to the CCC Championships tournament title came to an end Monday with a 2-0 loss to No. 1 seed Carroll College at the Willamalane Sports Complex.

Michaela Keuffler had luck on her side with her goal in the 12th minute when her shot hit the crossbar and bounced down and in for the 1-0 lead.

The Fighting Saints from Helena, Mont., then picked up their second goal at the 52-minute mark when Cassidy Hammons put her 18-yard strike over NU goalkeeper Lauren Hellum off a pass from teammate Jessica Becker.

The Carroll (12-3-5) defense would continue to hold the Eagles (12-6-2) scoreless and allow just one shot on goal taken by Sharaya Roberts and stopping 11 others which were blocked or wide left or right of the goal. Jamie Carter earned the shutout for the Saints making one save. Lauren Hellum made three saves for the Eagles in goal.

Northwest University will now await an announcement of the pairings and sites for the first round of the NAIA national tournament which begins Nov. 19 at campus sites around the nation. Thirty teams will earn the right to battle for the national championship.
