The second round of the NCAA Women’s Division I Soccer tournament came to an end, and five of the seven teams that made it into the tournament advanced to the second round. And while it may not be much consolation, USC losing on penalties and Arizona State losing on a golden goal are really unfortunate ways to end a season. For those that remain, next Saturday will be a critical day and we wish all of the teams the best of luck.

Friday, April 30th
Karina Rodriguez played all 90 minutes and Maricarmen Reyes contributed a shot in her 16 minutes off of the bench as #3 UCLA beat Iowa 2-1. Isabel Loza was not on the gameday roster for the Bruins.
