For the third year in a row, Dickinson and Franklin & Marshall both advanced through the first round of the Centennial Conference women's soccer tournament and into the semifinals. Dickinson blanked Gettysburg 1-0 while F&M ousted McDaniel 4-2 in penalty kicks following a 1-1 draw through 110 minutes of play. 

The day began with an afternoon matchup in Westminster, Md., with fifth-seeded F&M outlasting fourth-seeded McDaniel 4-2 in penalty kicks. Alaina Miller got McDaniel on the board first in the 22nd minute off a feed from Hariette Ngwatung, but Kyra Magerko found Emily Cook for the equalizer for F&M in the 39th minute. 

In the penalty shootout, F&M goalkeeper Lucy Fleming stymied the first two McDaniel attempts and F&M connected on each of its four attempts with Alex Jones, Meg Balerna, Amanda Nemeth and Liz King converting to send the Diplomats to the semifinals. 

F&M next heads to Baltimore for a semifinal matchup against top-seeded Johns Hopkins on Friday at 4 p.m. This marks F&M's fourth consecutive semifinal appearance. 

In Carlisle, Pa., third-seeded Dickinson scored in the 77th minute to down sixth-seeded Gettysburg 1-0 at Miller Memorial Field. The Red Devils move on to the CC semifinals for the third straight season. 

After more than 76 minutes of scoreless play, Dickinson's Emma Barrabee finished off a cross from Bridget Merkel for the decisive edge 

The Red Devils will take on second-seeded Swarthmore in Friday's semifinals, in Swarthmore, at 7 p.m.
