Box Score MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The Barry University women's soccer team slipped past the West Florida Argonauts 1-0 earlier tonight at Signiago Field to advance to the NCAA Regional final schedule for Sunday at 1 pm.
The Buccaneers came out firing posting 11 first half shots to the Argonauts three. The aggressive play paid off when junior
Olga Vargas found the net inside the six at the 12:15 mark after receiving a free kick pass from
Kassy Slattery as the Bucs headed into the half with the lead.
In the second half, the sluggish first half Argonauts found life during the break and came out playing for the win. Posting 10 second half shots, the Argonauts were still unsuccessful in finding the net as the Buccaneers found retribution from 1-1 tie earlier this season against West Florida holding in the win.
"We came into tonight with a solid game plan and the girls stuck to it," head coach Kyllene Carter-Weiss said. "Tonight the girls played with a lot of heart and played like a true championship team."
The Buccaneers finished the game with 24 total shots to the Argonauts 13.
Emelie Karlsson posted nine with four on goal to lead the Bucs.
Johanna Fischer posted seven saves for the Buccaneers in the contest and picked up her eighth shutout of the season and improving her season record 16-4-2. Michelle Gorman posted 12 saves in the loss for West Florida.
The Buccaneers advance to the NCAA South Region final and will play the winner of the Christian Brothers/Tampa on Sunday, Nov. 16 at 1 pm.
