Highlanders Fall 1-0 in National Quarter Finals
OLATHE, Kan. -
Although it was a five seed defeating a four seed, Concordia University (Ore.)
recorded the first upset of the 2006 NAIA Women's Soccer National Championship
with a 1-0 victory over Houghton College (N.Y.) in the quarterfinals Saturday
night at the College Boulevard Activity Center in Olathe, Kan.
During the previous 15 games of the tournament, the higher seed prevailed until
Concordia punched its ticket to the semifinals for the second time in three
seasons, setting up a match-up with top-seeded Azusa Pacific University on
Monday beginning at 3 p.m.
Against Houghton, Concordia scored the lone goal of the game in the 29th minute
as Justine Pronovost scored an unassisted goal when she slotted the ball between
the keeper and the left post for her 17th goal of the season.
For the match, the two teams each had 13 shots, while Houghton held a slight
advantage in corner kicks, 5-1.
Concordia goalkeeper Lela Mansfield grabbed four saves in the victory,
registering her eighth shutout of the season.
Houghton ends its 2006 season with an 18-2-2 record, while Concordia improves to
20-1-2.

and
solid
roots in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, where our
teams use their commitment to excellence, both on the field-of-play
and
in the classroom, as a platform for their strong and
unique
emphasis on Sports Ministry. Their goal is to make a difference
for the Kingdom
on campus, in Allegany County,
in the Northeast and
around
the world.
Houghton is one of only 13 institutions who have been hand-selected

for Houghton to be a leader,
both in the Northeast and
nationally, in character education.
Through hands-on,
innovative community outreach initiatives, Houghton coaches and
student-athletes
are working together to change the culture of sport and
to change our culture through sport.
