The William Smith Herons captured the NCAA Division III women's soccer championship with a 2-0 victory against the hometown Trinity (Texas) Tigers Saturday in front of more than 1,000 fans at Toyota Field. Herons junior forward Madeline Buckley opened the scoring in the game, with a goal in the 11th minute of play, on an assist first-year forward Kara Shue, who was named to the all-tournament team. The first goal would prove to be the game winner for the Herons.

William Smith, competing in its fourth NCAA final, and the first since 1997, completed the season with a 23-1-0 record. Trinity, a first-time finalist, wrapped up the campaign with a 25-1-2 mark.
