DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - The final score will go down as a 1-1 tie but Martin Methodist (18-3-1) will continue its path towards a national championship after outscoring Concordia (Ore.) (18-2-2) on penalty kicks, 4-2.

Concordia netted the first goal of the game with some quick action from inside the penalty box. Samantha Smith passed the ball to Kaitlyn Tebbs and while the pass was contested by the Martin Methodist keeper, Tebbs was relentless and was able to score.

Martin Methodist's Julia Bazi scored the equalizer less than four minutes into the second half as Bazi converted on a free kick from beyond the 18-yard box. Bazi also completed the feat during the RedHawks second round game against King.

Both teams had opportunities to score in regulation and two periods of overtime, but neither was able to capitalize and as a result both teams had to go to the penalty spot to decide the outcome.

After three attempts, each team had converted on two. Martin Methodist's Victoria Charnley stepped up for the RedHawks and slipped the ball in past Concordia's keeper. Carli Godard looked to even things up but was unable to get past Sarah Predergast. Justine Pronovost stepped up with the chance to clinch the game for the RedHawks and did so by sending the ball to the back of the net.

The ladies of Martin Methodist then gathered in the center of the field to celebrate their upcoming appearance in the semifinals of the 2007 NAIA Women's Soccer National Tournamen. The RedHawks will face #1 Lee on Monday Nov. 19 at 6 p.m.
