MIAMI, Fla. – The Blue Raiders advance!

The Middle Tennessee women's soccer team (9-9, 5-4 CUSA) defeated the fourth-seeded Sam Houston Bearkats (8-8-2, 5-4 CUSA) in tonight's quarterfinal matchup with a 4-2, penalty shootout win under the lights in Miami, Fla.

The win tonight sends the Blue Raiders into the CUSA semifinals, where they will face host, and top seed, FIU Panthers on Friday night at 6 P.M. CT.

Unlike the conclusion of the match, the opening 45 minutes featured an offensive stalemate, with neither offense finding a way through the opposition's seemingly impenetrable defense.
