Alyse Mims did her best to limit the damage to Adams State (1-9, 0-6 RMAC). She made 12 saves.
FLC has four games left before the conference tournament and is good position to make another trip to play in the tournament, as six teams will advance. FLC is in fifth place in the league standings. Westminster is only a half game back but Rockhurst is sixth a full game back, and the Skyhawks own a tiebreaker against Rockhurst.
