Matthews, NC - The Queens University of Charlotte women's soccer team (13-6-1; 6-4 SAC) fell short of knocking off the Wingate Bulldogs (13-3-2; 7-2-1 SAC) in the South Atlantic Conference Tournament semifinals by a final score of 1-0.

Following their momentous upset win at third-seeded Carson-Newman in the quarterfinals, The Royals held Wingate scoreless in the first half entering halftime with the game tied. The second-seeded Bulldogs took control early in the second half, however, with a goal from Brianna Ditillo in the 56'th minute forcing Queens to play from behind. Queens limited the damage to one score thanks to a worldly effort from freshman goalkeeper Erica Turner who finished with a career-high 14 saves.

Wingate outshot Queens 20-8 with 10 more shots on goal. Turner's 14 saves crosses the century mark with 102 saves for the 2019 season.
