Women's Soccer Clinches No. 5 Seed in A-10 Championship

2011 Atlantic 10 Championship Bracket

PHILADELPHIA - The St. Bonaventure University women's soccer team secured the No. 5 seed in the Atlantic 10 Championship with a scoreless draw versus Temple at La Salle's McCarthy Stadium on Sunday.

The Bonnies (9-6-4, 4-2-3 A-10) advance to their fourth straight conference championship and will play No. 4 seed Massachusetts (12-4-2, 6-2-1) at Dayton at 5 p.m. on Thursday.

St. Bonaventure is joined by Dayton and Charlotte as the only schools to qualify in each of the last four seasons.

Sophomore goalie Megan Junker made eight saves and turned in her fifth shutout of the year, one shy of the school's single-season record set last season by Nicole Markert. The clean sheet marked the seventh in 19 games for SBU, eclipsing last year's mark (six) for the best in team history.

The Bonnies outshot (21-17) and outcornered (10-4) a Temple team that finishes the year at 5-12-1, including 2-6-1 in conference play. The four ties are also a new program-high for the Brown and White.

Temple's Tara Murphy stopped seven shots to preserve the draw.

Tickets for the A-10 Tournament will be $6 for adults, $4 for youth under 18 and senior citizens and $3 for Atlantic 10 students with ID. Three-day passes are also available for $15.

Each game of the championship will be video streamed and available on Gametracker through Atlantic10.com.
