Greensboro, NC… The College of New Jersey women's soccer team closed out the Lions 12^th final four run with a third place finish for the fifth time in program history falling 1-0 to the University of Chicago Friday morning. The Lions end the season at 21-1-1, while the Maroons improve to 22-1.

The loss ends the Lions 24-game unbeaten streak dating back to last season.
 
The Lions fell behind in the sixth minute. A failed clearing attempt placed the ball on the foot of Madori Spiker. Spiker played a perfect cross to Hanna Watkins, who found the lower right corner of the net.
 
The Lions defense settled in following the early misstep, but the damage had already been done. The Maroons finished with nine shots on the game, with only a pair coming in the final 40 minutes.
 
TCNJ was not without their chances offensively. Midway through the second half, Christine Levering (Robbinsville, NJ/Robbinsville) appeared to have the goalie beat, but took an extra touch that allowed the defense to recover and wipe out the scoring chance.
 
Hannah Richman (Egg Harbor Twp., NJ/Egg Harbor) and Jessica Goldman (Belle Mead, NJ/Montgomery) each finished with four shots to lead TCNJ.
 
Lions goalie Nicole DiPasquale (Paramus, NJ/Paramus) finished with two saves.
 
The Lions out-shot the Maroons 12-9, but only two of the Lions shots were on target. TCNJ earned seven corners to three for Chicago.
