SAN ANTONIO, Texas – The Pacific Lutheran women's soccer season came to an end Saturday with a 1-0 loss to Pomona-Pitzer Colleges in the first round of the NCAA Division III National Tournament.

On Saturday at Trinity University, the Lutes were outshot 21-5 including 10-1 on goal.

Vera Panescu-Reich recorded the lone shot on goal for the Lutes. Shaylin Cesar made nine saves in goal.
