WASHINGTON, Pa. (Oct. 30) – The Waynesburg University women's soccer team made its first trip to the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) playoffs since 2021 when it traveled to Washington & Jefferson on Saturday. Looking for an upset, the fifth-seeded Yellow Jackets took the fourth-seeded Presidents into double-overtime. Unfortunately, the home team was able to find the back of the net in the 105^th minute to end the contest and advance in the tournament.
 
Junior goalkeeper Autumn Blair (Penn Hills, Pa. / Penn Hills) was fantastic for the visiting squad and allowed Waynesburg (8-8-1) to stay in the contest despite being outshot by a 29-10 margin and 15-5 in shots on goal. Blair piled up 14 saves, including six over 15 minutes of post-regulation time.
 
The Jackets had an opportunity to slip past W&J (10-7-2) late in the 104^th minute, but senior Lea Holtz (Johnstown, Pa. / Bishop McCort) was denied by the President keeper.
 
Saturday marked the second time this season that Waynesburg and W&J played to double-overtime. Their first encounter ended in a 0-0 draw back on Oct. 13.
 
Though their season came to an end, the Yellow Jackets' 2021 campaign featured their highest overall win total since going 8-9-3 in 2014.
