ALLENDALE, Mich. – The Saginaw Valley State University women's soccer team advanced to the GLIAC Championship with a 1–0 win over Wisconsin-Parkside on Friday afternoon at the GVSU Soccer Field.

The Cardinals (13–5–2) controlled the match from start to finish, earning their seventh shutout of the season to secure a spot in Sunday's title game.

After a scoreless first half, Rileigh Garbarz (Pinckney, Mich. / Father Gabriel Richard HS) scored the game's only goal in the 55th minute by chipping a cross from Kylie Cesarek (Macomb, Mich. / Dakota HS) over the Rangers keeper. SVSU outshot Parkside 18–9 and held a 7–2 advantage in shots on goal.

The Cardinals' defense was stellar once again, as Lainey Garbarz (Pinckney, Mich. / Father Gabriel Richard HS) made two saves to post her seventh clean sheet of the season. SVSU also led 8–1 in corner kicks and limited Parkside's offense to zero shots on goal in the first half.

Up Next: Saginaw Valley advances to the GLIAC Championship, taking on the one-seed in Grand Valley State on Sunday, November 16. Kickoff is set for 1:00 PM from the GVSU Soccer Field.
