MATTHEWS, NC. -- Washburn will play for a national championship for the first time in program history after a 1-0 win over No. 2 Adelphi University in the final four on Thursday afternoon. The Ichabods will take on the No. 4 seed Point Loma in the championship on Saturday at 11 a.m. Central Time.  

A 56th minute goal by Mackinly Rohn was the difference in the semifinals match and moved Washburn into the final match of the season. The Ichabod offense pressured the goal all afternoon as they outshot the Panthers 20 to three, including 13 to two in the second half.  

Washburn had seven shots in the first half with five of them going on goal while holding Adelphi to just one shot overall, which landed off target. Finally, Rohn was able to find the back of the net for the No. 3 seed after a shot by Khloe Schuckman was deflected to the left side of the field just in front of the goal.  

For the game the Ichabods ended with 11 shots on goal and the Panthers managed only one.  

Raegan Wells completed a second straight shutout, her 13th solo blank slate of the season and the 14th combined. She made one save in the match with the defensive trio of Jordan Tenpas, Lakin Rold and Taylor Bockover playing all 90 minutes of the match on defense helping keep the action away.  

The 20 shots by Washburn are a season high. Khloe Schuckman led the way in that department taking five with all five going on goal. Belle Kennedy and Jadyn Allen each took three swings at the goal with two going on target.  

Alexis Hellman had all three shot attempts for the Panthers and Krista Aliscio made 10 saves playing all 90 minutes in goal.
