Tigers to Face South Florida in AAC Championship Final

Nov 06, 2021 | Women's Soccer

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Memphis Tigers women's soccer team has gotten their groove back, winning consecutive matches in the American Athletic Conference Championship to move to the Final against South Florida on Sunday morning. This will be the third time in four seasons that the Tigers and Bulls have met in the conference tournament final.

Memphis (13-4-1) finally broke through Houston's defense in the 85' when Tanya Boychuk sent a ball from midfield into the front line and Saorla Miller broke free from the Cougar's defensive line to go one-on-one with Houston's goalkeeper. Miller's goal would stand as the game-winning goal.

South Florida (12-3-2) secured their spot in the final match with goals from Sydny Nasello (56') and Lucy Roberts (74') while Bulls' goalkeeper, Sydney Martinez, recorded five saves in the match.

Earlier in the season with the Tigers and Bulls played dead even through 105 minutes of play before Katie Kitching netted the Golden Goal for USF in the second overtime. Despite Memphis' lack of scoring in the match, the team was able to record 15 shots with Boychuk, Miller, Jocelyn Alonzo and Haylee Spray leading the charge. Elizabeth Moberg also recorded a season-high seven saves in the match.
