CHAMPIONSHIP INFO
ASHLAND, Ohio -
Mackenzie Northcutt bounced in a free kick late in the game to provide No. 2 seed Cedarville a 1-0 victory against No. 6 Walsh in a G-MAC Women's Soccer Semifinals.
The Lady Jackets, 12-4-2, advance to play host and 15th-ranked Ashland in Saturday's championship tilt at 3:00 p.m. EST.
Northcutt lined up a 30-yard free kick in the 83rd minute of a contest that was played in a steady rain.
The low shot appeared to touch a Cavalier defender and bounced past the goalkeeper at the near post.
Despite the artificial surface, the weather contributed to limited offense. Both teams placed just three shots on goal apiece.
