ST. LOUIS – The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater women's soccer team saw its record-setting 2014 season come to an end Saturday after suffering a 4-0 setback against Centre (Ky.) in an NCAA Division III Tournament first round contest at Washington University's Francis Field.
 
The Warhawks finish the season with an 18-4 overall mark, good for a school record in wins. UW-Whitewater won its fifth consecutive Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference regular season championship and received an at-large bid to its fourth straight NCAA Tournament. The team has won 29 straight regular season WIAC matches.
 
The Colonels (16-5-1) advance to Sunday's second round, where they'll take on No. 25 Puget Sound (Wash.), a 1-0 winner over 13th-ranked Washington-St. Louis in the first round.
 
Sophomore Carly Pottle (St. Charles, Ill./St. Charles East) took the Warhawks' first shot of the afternoon in the 10th minute of the affair. Ten minutes later, Centre took a 1-0 lead on a goal by Nancy Ingham.
 
After a header by freshman Jordan Jackson (Lake Zurich, Ill./Lake Zurich) in the 22nd minute was saved, the Colonels doubled their advantage in the 24th as Destinie Graves tallied on a shot from near the top of the box.
 
UW-Whitewater earned a corner kick in the 28th minute, but was unable to cut in to the Centre advantage before heading into the locker room.
 
The Warhawks were aggressive to start the second half, slotting two shots in the first three minutes of the period. The Colonels stalled UW-Whitewater's comeback effort in the 56th with another goal by Graves to take a 3-0 lead.
 
Just over 10 minutes later, Centre found the back of the net once more for the final margin.
 
The Warhawks' five-player senior class of Kelsey Beld (Madison, Wis./Madison Memorial), Kaitlyn Fritsch (Cottage Grove, Wis./Monona Grove), Emily Haeger (Rolling Meadows, Ill./Rolling Meadows), Jordan Myers (Aurora, Ill./Waubonsie Valley) and Sarah Sedlar (Racine, Wis./Racine Case) helped the program finish with a 65-15-8 record over the last four years, a span in which the team won four WIAC titles and reached the NCAA Tournament four times. The quintet comprises the winningest senior class in program history.
