MEDFORD, Ore. – The Bushnell women's soccer team was unsuccessful in their upset bid on Saturday, falling to No. 20 College of Idaho in the CCC tournament semifinals, 6-1.
Â
While it ended on a sour note, Bushnell's season comes to a close with an overall record of 6-8-3 giving them their second-highest win total over the past ten seasons as the Beacons earned back-to-back conference postseason appearances for the first time in history.
Â
The top-seeded College of Idaho finished the game with three goals in each half, out shooting the No. 8 seed Beacons 21-4 and held Bushnell to one shot on goal. CCC Player of the Year candidate Abbi Roubidoux earned a first-half hat trick and assisted on the fourth goal from Madison Little before Rylee Russell added a brace.
Â
The Beacons goal came in the 67th minute as sophomore Elidia Cervantes Carolos clinched her second consecutive scoring title with her seventh goal of the season. She now had 14 goals over her first two collegiate campaigns and has moved into a tie for second-place on Bushnell's all-time scoring list. She will enter her junior year needing just five goals to earn the Beacons career record. Â
Â
Top-seed College of Idaho (15-3) advances to the semifinals on Monday where they will take on No. 4 seed Eastern Oregon University. No. 2 Southern Oregon and No. 3 Rocky Mountain compete in the other semifinal.
