CHAMPIONS! The Billikens Top GW; Win the Atlantic 10

The Billikens win back-to-back titles; will learn NCAA destination tomorrow

ST. LOUIS – Saint Louis defeated George Washington 3-1 in the Atlantic 10 Conference Women's Soccer Championship title game on Sunday to secure its second straight A-10 Championship crown.

The Billikens (16-3-2) now advance to the NCAA Women's Soccer Championship. The selection show is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 11, at 3:30 p.m. (CT) on NCAA.com. The team will gather at Lorenzini's inside Chaifetz Arena beginning at 3 p.m. to watch the selection show. The public is invited.

On Sunday, the Billikens converted two PKs in the first half. On the first Alyssa Seitzer drew a foul in the box, and Hanna Freidrich converted the PK to put SLU on top 1-0. Alli Klug buried the second PK after GW was whistled for a hand ball in the penalty area.

Emily Groark made it 3-0 SLU in the 18th minute when she registered her first goal as a Billiken, scoring off a feed from Friedrich.

George Washington scored in the 84th minute, but it wasn't enough and the Billikens held on for their second straight A-10 Championship title.

Courtney Reimer was named the Most Outstanding Player of the A-10 Championship. Joining her on the All-Championship team were Emma Farley, Friedrich, Alli Klug and Mary Niehaus. 

Here are some additional notes on Sunday's win:
  • The A-10 Championship title is the fourth in Billiken women's soccer history, and second in a row.
  • SLU extended its school-record unbeaten streak to 16 games (14-0-2).
  • The Billikens tied the school record for home wins in a season (11).
  • Saint Louis is 37-1-5 in its last 43 home games.
  • The Billikens have a 26-game unbeaten streak vs. A-10 opponents.
  • Emily Groark became the 15th Billiken to score a goal this season.
  • The Groark-from-Friedrich goal is the 30th different player combination on SLU's 34 assisted goals this season.

  • Friedrich moved into seventh place on SLU's career points list (58) and a tie for seventh on the Bills' career goals chart (22).
