Soccer
* The No. 2-seeded Tennessee Wesleyan women won their home semifinal Tuesday in the Appalachian Athletic Conference soccer tournament 4-0 over Milligan, but the top-seeded Bryan women and second-seeded Bryan men both lost to Truett McConnell - 1-0 and 2-1, respectively. Nicole Broderick scored in the 38th minute from a Chloe Rootes assist for Wesleyan's Lady Bulldogs (12-4-2), and Rootes, Lauren Cunningham and Karla Martinez added goals in the final 20 minutes. Emiley Saddler and Jessica Young double-assisted Rootes' score. In Dayton for fourth-seeded Truett McConnell (12-6-1), Katey Griggs scored in the 77th minute against Bryan's Lady Lions (12-6), who were outshot 16-7 but got nine saves from Morgana Hardt da Silva. The male Lions (14-6) scored just 1:35 into their afternoon match, Charlie Clarke converting a double assist from Kevin Roenpage and Brad Spooner, and had a 19-8 advantage in shots. But third-seeded TMU (15-3-2) scored at 15:02 and 49:10, and that latter goal held up as the game-winner. TMU keeper Evan Gaffney made eight saves. Wesleyan sophomore Young was the AAC women's defensive player of the week for her considerable part in holding Point to one shot on goal in a 3-0 quartefinal win last Friday. She marked Point's top goal scorer. TWU will host TMU in the women's tournament final this Friday.

* Madison Guider and Luis Perez from Cleveland State's first-year cross country program will represent the Lady Cougars and Cougars at the NJCAA meet Saturday at Fort Dodge, Iowa. Perez and Guider led their teams in every meet this season, including first-place individual finishes at the Central Georgia Tech Invitational. "This is very exciting to be able to go and participate in this meet," coach David Kyle said in a Cleveland State release. "If my runners race what I think they are capable of racing, we'll have two top-100 places. There's going to be 300 plus at this meet, so to potentially have two top-100 finishes in our inaugural season would be amazing." Said Guider: "It's an honor to be able to attend this meet. It's exciting knowing that Luis and I will be the first runners from Cleveland State to race (at nationals)." Said Perez: "It's going to be an amazing experience. I can't wait to see the different levels of competition so that I can figure out what to improve on."
