FIFA Presidential Race Heats Up as Tashima Challenges Infantino for Top Spot
The FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup Final between Nigeria and Japan is set for today, marking a historic moment for African football.
The story
La Salle women's soccer secured a spot in the Atlantic 10 Tournament semifinals with a dramatic 1-0 victory over sixth-seeded Loyola Chicago on Friday night at McCarthy Stadium. Senior captain Rylee Henson delivered the decisive blow in the 65th minute, rising high from the edge of the six-yard box to head home a corner kick for her second goal of the season.
Junior midfielder Ella Cadigan recorded her league-leading 11th assist on the play. La Salle, now 10-5-4 overall, held strong defensively to preserve the clean sheet despite a desperate, late-game onslaught from Loyola Chicago. The win marks La Salle's return to the A10 semifinals for the first time since 2023.
