The Ferris State University women's soccer team advanced to the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Tournament Semifinals after beating Saginaw Valley State by a 1-0 score in the quarterfinal-round on Monday (Nov. 6) in University Center.

The Bulldogs (7-8-4) topped the Cardinals for the second time in five days, as they were previously victorious 2-1 on Thursday (Nov. 2) in the regular season finale.

With the win, FSU will next face host Northern Michigan in the league semifinals on Friday (Nov. 10) as the top-seeded Wildcats topped Purdue Northwest 3-0 and will host the semifinals and finals of the league tourney this weekend in Marquette.

Lauren Kubacki started at goalkeeper in Monday's quarterfinals and made four saves while earning a shutout win.

FSU senior Payton Price had the lone goal of the game. Her seventh score of the year was unassisted at the 25:59 mark in the first half. She controlled a pass that came over the top into the box and beat Lainey Garbarz to the lower-right part of the goal to give Ferris State a lead that held up the rest of the way.

In the win, the Bulldogs attempted four shots on goal, took one corner kick and had 14 fouls. Saginaw Valley sent four shots on target, had six corner kicks and committed seven fouls. 

Ferris State will be back in action on Friday against the Wildcats in the GLIAC Tournament Semifinals. More information will be released by the league office following the conclusion of quarterfinal-round play on Monday evening.
