ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Bethel University women's soccer team saw its historic season come to a close in the MIAC Semifinals falling to 19th-ranked St. Thomas 3-0 on a chilly fall afternoon. The second-seeded Tommies kept the sixth-seed Royals out of the shot column and used two second half goals to advance to Saturday's championships match.

Bethel finishes the year with a 14-6 record which goes down in the program record books as the most wins in a single season.

Allowing only 15 goals this season the Royals tie the program record from 2009.

The Tommies broke the scoreless tie in the 31st minute as goalkeeper Kaylee Peterson made a diving save which UST then tapped in the loose rebound. In the 66th minute, Bethel was unable to clear out a ball as a shot went right through traffic and into the back of the net. UST's third goal came late in the second half on a penalty kick.

Peterson had seven saves on the day bringing her career total to 209 placing her fifth all-time. She will leave Arden Hills with a career goals against average of 0.95 and holds the single-season record for shutouts with 10.
