CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. -- No. 1 seed Campbellsville (Ky.) scored early in each half to beat No. 4 seed Cumberland (Tenn.) 2-1 tonight in the Mid-South Conference Women's Soccer Tournament Semifinals.
The Tigers (12-2-2) advance to the tournament finals, where they will host No. 2 seed Cumberlands (Ky.) in Campbellsville. It is a rematch of last season's title game.
Oddny Helgadottir scored the game's first goal in the 13th minute off an assist from Julia Ogren, giving the Tigers an early 1-0 lead. Campbellsville carried that lead into halftime.
Marta Prieto doubled the Campbellsville lead with an unassisted goal in the 47th minute. The two goals would be all the Tigers would need to advance.
Campbellsville goalkeeper Sydney Hall stopped six Phoenix (11-7-1) en route to the win.
Cumberland's Adelyn Drane provided the lone Cumberland goal of the night in the 61st minute to trim the deficit to 2-1.
Campbellsville advances to its second straight MSC championship match. The Tigers defeated Cumberlands 2-1 in overtime last season in Williamsburg.
The tournament winner earns the conference’s automatic bid to the NAIA National Championships in November.
