DE PERE, Wisconsin - The Knox College women's soccer team advanced to their second consecutive NCAA Tournament after defeating rival Monmouth College in dominating fashion to win the Midwest Conference Tournament.
 
Knox took the courtesy of starting the scoring in the match. After multiple quality shots on goal from just outside the box, Knox finally put a quality attack together when Yvette Rodriguez found Corina Leyva for the first goal of the match in the 30th minute. Rodriguez also assisted a Leyva goal early in the second half to give Knox a controlling 2-0 lead. Rodriguez and Leyva were not done; however, because just minutes later roles reversed and Leyva found Rodriguez for the third goal of the match and what would end up being the final tally for the Fire.
 
After a historic run last season to make the NCAA tournament, Knox proved their legitimacy as a dominant force not just in the Midwest Conference but also on the national scene making it back again this year. NCAA Tournament seeding will be announced on November 6 at 12:00 p.m. The selection show will be broadcast here.
