FREMONT, Neb. – The College of Saint Mary soccer season came to an end Thursday night.

The Flames lost 4-0 to Midland University in the quarterfinals of the GPAC Postseason Tournament. CSM entered as the No. 6 seed in the tournament, while the Warriors entered as the No. 3 seed.

College of Saint Mary ends its season with a 7-6-5 record.

"Our team has battled all season and today was no different," CSM Coach Jordan Irsik said.

Midland scored the first – and only – goal of the first half when Aminata Lewis got an unassisted shot past CSM goalkeeper Alivia Schade at 16:47.

It was a long time before anyone else scored, but Midland managed three more goals in the second half. Sydney Herren got an unassisted goal at 69:08; Hanna Schimmer scored an unassisted goal at 83:28 and then Schimmer scored again – this one assisted by Herren – at 86:49.

The Warriors outshot College of Saint Mary 21-4 in the contest and Schade finished with eight saves for the Flames.

"We didn't find a rhythm offensively in the first half," Irsik said. "But we really felt we could make adjustments in the second half that would give us a chance – which it did. We were really on the front foot the second half, but unfortunately, they capitalized on their opportunities and we didn't."

The Flames were disappointed to suffer the loss especially since they had defeated Midland earlier in the season. CSM beat the Warriors 1-0 back on Sept. 30.

"Postseason is a different battle," Irsik said. "We wanted to go our fighting and we really did."

It was the final CSM soccer game for seniors Kylie Anderson, Reagan Boex, Katie Harold, Hayley Holden, Kaylie Ratzlaff, Jessica Slater, Alexis Vodicka and Abbey Wilson.

"This season was special," Irsik said. "Our senior class led from the front and our success began and ended with them. They set an incredible standard every day. It has been a joy to share a sideline with them for the past 4+ years.

"They have left a stamp on this program and on us as people. We will miss them."
