Madison, WI - Rock Valley Women's Soccer scored in the 90th minute to capture the first Region IV title in only their second season in NJCAA DII. It was a physical game with several shouts for possible penalty kicks in both halves. South Suburban goalkeeper came up big pushing Anika Elgin wide on a breakaway early in the game. The next biggest chance in the first half came off a free kick on the edge of the box for RVC that Gisselle Farias hit of the inside of the post. Sara Holguin drew level with South Suburban by connecting on an Emma Ambrose free kick after coming off the South Suburban goalkeeper. Holguin's goal was her 8th goal of the season. Naitzy Garcia made several good saves including one on the line to keep the scoreline at 1-1. The end of the game was a flurry of activity as the Golden Eagles pushed for the winning goal. In the 90th minute Emma Ambrose (16 assists on the season) stood over a free kick from distance and picked out Anika Elgin in the box that knocked down a header into the path of Abigail Carlson who slotted the ball back across the goal for the game winner. The goal was Carlson's second game winner of the season with her first coming against #4 Nationally ranked Joliet Junior College.
