How Pomona-Pitzer Got Here

The Sagehens (14-1-3, 9-0-3) earned their spot in the 2025 NCAA Division III Women's Soccer Tournament for the ninth time in program history, this season via an at-large bid. After winning their seventh straight SCIAC regular season title, the Sagehens advanced to the conference tournament championship game but fell 2-1 to Cal Lutheran. Eight of Pomona-Pitzer's nine NCAA Tournament appearances have come since the 2015 season with the Sagehens reaching the Elite Eight in 2016 and the Final Four in 2019. Pomona-Pitzer enters the weekend ranked 10th nationally in goals-against average (.364), 14th in shutout percentage (.722) and 17th in save percentage (.891).

How St. Joseph's - Long Island Got Here

Sierra Rosario led the Golden Eagles with one assist, eight shots, and four shots on goal. Emily Farrington tallied one goal on one shot on goal. Savannah Modica scored her first career goal and the game winning goal for the Golden Eagles. Kristin Vahle recorded two saves and allowed one goal.

How CMS Got Here

The Claremont-Mudd-Scripps women's soccer team earned one of 21 at-large bids into the NCAA Division III Soccer Tournament, and will open play on Saturday against Puget Sound in a regional hosted by Pomona-Pitzer. CMS stands at 13-3-3 on the year, and was one of three SCIAC teams to earn a bid. Pomona-Pitzer was the regular season champion, while Cal Lutheran won the SCIAC Tournament and will play in a regional hosted by Trinity (Texas). All three of the Athenas' losses came to either Cal Lutheran or Pomona-Pitzer, while tying both foes one time as well. CMS fell 2-1 at Cal Lutheran in the regular season, and again by 2-1 in the SCIAC Semifinals, while playing the Regals to a 0-0 tie at home. The Athenas fell at home to Pomona-Pitzer 1-0 on a late goal, and then played the Sagehens to a 0-0 tie on the road.
