St. Mike’s women’s soccer prepares for NCAA Tournament debut
COLCHESTER, Vt. (WCAX) - The St. Mike’s women’s soccer team is headed to the D-II NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history, one year after a near miss. The Purple Knights earned the #4 seed in the Atlantic Regional bracket, and they will take on a Bridgeport team they already played to a scoreless draw back in September. St. Mike’s players will be looking to go on a run in their first tournament trip. “It meant everything,” senior defender Bridget McLoughlin said of her team’s selection. “I think especially after being so close last year and not getting the bid, seeing our name on that screen, it was just pure joy and excitement from everyone in the room.” “I mean, it was just super exciting,” added junior midfielder Sam McDonough. “I think that it means a lot because we worked so hard as a team and to be able to celebrate as a team was just awesome and a great experience.” “It was just great,” said senior midfielder Bridget Hanley. “It was the most fun experience. I mean, last year not getting it, it was just the complete opposite feeling like it was just pure joy. We were all just jumping around going crazy, so it was pretty great.”
