GAME DETAILS
•Six different players scored a goal, Saint Louis set a program record for goals in a conference tournament game, and the second-seeded Billikens advanced to the Atlantic 10 Conference Championship semifinals with a 6-0 quarterfinal victory over seventh-seeded Loyola Chicago Saturday afternoon at Hermann Stadium.
•SLU (14-3-2) will host fourth-seeded Rhode Island (12-5-2) Wednesday at 7 p.m. The Billikens defeated the Rams 4-1 in the regular-season meeting Oct. 19 in Rhode Island.
•Wednesday's other semifinal matches top-seeded Dayton vs. sixth-seeded Fordham.
•Saint Louis got on the board in the seventh minute with Ashley Miller's first goal as a Billiken. Hope Kim dribbled to the deep right flank, outmaneuvered a defender, carried the ball into the box and crossed to Miller, who fired in a straight-on 15-yard shot through traffic. Kim's assist was her fourth of the year.
•Julia Simon made it 2-0 in the 13th minute with a penalty kick following a Loyola hand ball in the box. Simon improved to 3-for-3 on PKs with her team-leading seventh goal of the season.
•The Bills increased their lead in the 23rd minute with a goal that provided a 3-0 halftime advantage. Hannah Larson's cross was deflected just outside the six to Audrey Smith, whose shot from a tough angle found its way just inside the far post for her fifth goal of the season. Larson tallied her fifth assist on the play.
•Adee Broesder collected her fifth goal of the year in the 62nd minute. Broesder gathered the ball near the left sideline, weaved her way toward the goal and tapped a shot from close range that deflected off the goalkeeper's leg into the net.
•Rylee Howard got into the scoring act in the 83rd minute. From the middle of the field, Addison Stanciak played a perfect thru ball to Howard, who sidestepped a defender and buried a 12-yard shot for her third goal of the season. Stanciak earned her second assist.
•The Billikens concluded the scoring just 34 seconds later. Izzy Luebbert dribbled close to the end line and flighted a perfect cross to a waiting Emily Fox, who headed the ball in from six yards out for her second goal of 2025. The helper was Luebbert's seventh, giving her the team lead in assists and points (15).
