The Tompkins Cortland Community College women's soccer team ended the regular season on a high note by defeating the defending national champions Wednesday. Playing at home, the Panthers scored an early goal and made it stand in a 1-0 win over SUNY Broome. The win leaves Tompkins Cortland with a final regular season record of 10-5 overall, 9-5 in Region III, and 3-3 in the Mid-State Athletic Conference. Broome is now 8-6-1 overall, 7-6-1 in Region III, and 2-3-1 in the MSAC.

The lone goal came in the 13th minute of play, with Kelsey Clark (Homer H.S./Homer) tracking down a ball in the left side of the box and firing it past the Broome keeper. The Panthers threatened multiple times the rest of the way but couldn't put one in the net the net, with shots instead finding the crossbar, the post, or being saved by a strong effort from the Broome keeper. By the final horn, Tompkins Cortland had a 12-4 advantage in shots on goal.

Kassie Murdock (Stillwater H.S./Stillwater) and Katie Slocum (Candor H.S./Candor) each played a half in goal, with Murdock posting three saves in the first half and Slocum recording one in the second.

Next up for the Panthers will be a return to the NJCAA Region III playoffs. Tournament brackets will be announced Sunday with first round games on Tuesday.
