KENOSHA, Wis. – A 0-0 tie at No. 4 UW-Parkside in the regular season finale on Wednesday (Oct. 29) for the Lewis women's soccer team clinched a berth in the 2014 Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament for the Flyers.

The game went to a second overtime however it was stopped with 8:15 remaining in the extra session due to darkness.

The decision gives Lewis the No. 8 seed. The Flyers will play the top seeded Rangers on Sunday at noon in Wisconsin.

"I'm really happy for this group considering the challenges and injuries we've had this year," Lewis head coach Chris Koenig said. "Three weeks ago this seemed like a long shot but we figured out a way to grind things out and extend the season."

The Flyers were out-shot 21-3. The unbeaten Rangers held an 11-3 edge in corner kicks. Lewis senior goalkeeper Mara Bennett (Portage, Mich./Portage Central) recorded six saves to pick up her sixth shutout of the season. Junior Lauren Grady (Algonquin, Ill./Jacobs) recorded the Flyers' only shot on goal.

This is Lewis' second tournament berth in the last three years. The 2012 team made the tournament for the first time since 1997.

Wednesday's tie snaps a six-match losing streak against the Rangers for the Flyers.

"Parkside's national ranking is well deserved," Koenig said. "They are the most complete group we've played against this year. It took a solid effort on our part to get the tie today. We have a few days now to reevaluate and figure out a few things for Sunday."

The Rangers finish the regular season 15-0-2 (13-0-2 GLVC) and regular season GLVC Champions. Lewis concludes the regular season 5-6-6 (5-5-5 GLVC). The two clubs will meet again on Sunday in the opening round of the GLVC Tournament.
