WASHINGTON, Pa. -- The Grove City College women's soccer team moved closer to securing the top seed in the season-ending Presidents' Athletic Conference Championship Tournament by earning a 1-0 road win Tuesday evening over Washington & Jefferson at Alexandre Stadium. The victory is the 400th in program history.
Senior defender
Hannah Mitchell (Harrisburg, Pa./Harrisburg Christian) broke a scoreless tie at 34:35 when she blasted a free kick from 30 yards away into the net, over W&J goalkeeper Molly Schoch. It is Mitchell's second goal of the season, as well as her second game-winning score of 2026. Both of her goals this season have come on free kicks as she scored the first goal September 29 in a 3-0 win at Saint Francis after a foul.
Grove City (12-1-3, 8-0-2) accumulated a 15-7 edge in total shots, along with a 7-3 margin in shots on goal. The Wolverines had five corner kicks while W&J (6-8-1, 4-5-0) had four corner kicks.
Senior goalkeeper
Maddie Mills (Niskayuna, N.Y./Niskayuna) made three saves to secure Grove City's 10th shutout of the season. Mills (11-1-3) now has 25 career wins, moving her into a tie for sixth in program history with Tiffany Yost (2010-13).
Grove City currently leads the conference with 26 points. Saint Vincent (7-1-1) is second with 22 points. Those two teams played to a scoreless draw September 19 in Latrobe.
