AMCC regular season.
"We are happy to secure home field advantage throughout the
tournament, " said fourth year coach Patrick O'Driscoll. The
women had a rough start to the season, but coach O'Driscoll is
confident in his team as they go into the tournament. "I feel
we have carried more momentum toward the end of the season and hope
it will continue into the semifinal game, " said O'Driscoll.
"We know we have to be at our best in the post season to win."
The women have been playing great soccer. They have out-scored
their opponents 33-21 in the regular season, while only giving up
about a goal a game on avearge.

The winner will advance to the championship game to be played
