Women’s Club Soccer Loses 0-3 at Regionals
MIT’s Women Club Soccer traveled to Stony Brook University this past weekend to compete in the NIRSA Region 1 Club Soccer Tournament. They entered the tournament as the No. 21 seed, and were slated to face fourth-seeded RIT, ninth-seeded Temple, and sixteenth-seeded Brown in pool play.
The weekend did not play out as they had hoped. In their first game on Saturday against Brown, the team was shutout 0-4 in a loss. Their second game against Temple held more promise, but the team gave up a 2-0 halftime lead to lose 2-3 (goals by Maria Alder (‘25) and Olivia Rivera (‘26)). In their lone game on Sunday against RIT, the team fought valiantly in the face of injuries, but ultimately lost 1-2, with the lone goal coming from Caroline Ibanez (‘26).
Despite the losses, the team enjoyed their trip to New York, and is optimistic about their chances to make it further next season.
