MONTGOMERY, Ala. - A tough end to the season does not spoil the historic run the Lady Eagles put together throughout the 2022 campaign as Faulkner dropped its final contests to a high-octane No. 5 William Carey in the SSAC semifinals 9-0.
Faulkner stayed under fire from the Crusaders, who lead the country in shots per game and are second in goals scored per game, all 90 minutes as the Crusaders fired 46 shots to Faulkner's two. After holding the SSAC regular season champions the last five seasons off the board for the first 10 minutes, the Crusaders broke through and opened up the match in the 11th with the first goal.
Faulkner put together the first double-digit win season and first winning season since 2011 wrapping up with a 10-6-2 record.
