Penalty kicks send No. 14 Tyler past Blinn in thrilling Region 14 Tournament quarterfinal

The Buccaneers concluded their season with a 9-3-3 record

Following an incredible play to end regulation and a hard-fought overtime period, Blinn College women's soccer was unable to overcome No. 14 Tyler Junior College in a Region 14 Tournament quarterfinal match Tuesday at Rankin Field in Brenham, Texas.

After the two teams played to a tie across 110 minutes of regulation and overtime, the Apaches outscored the Buccaneers 4-2 in the penalty kick round to advance in the postseason tournament.

Blinn concluded its season with a 9-3-3 record.

"This one feels a lot like when we fell on penalty kicks in the 2023 region semifinals," Bucs head coach Alexandria said. "We believed there was more for this team and this group of players to accomplish, which makes it all the more heartbreaking to see it end this way."

Blinn's season was just seconds away from ending in regulation, but a foul with 12 seconds left awarded the Bucs a free kick in Tyler's final third.

Freshman midfielder Chloey Mejia handled the kick and sent a line drive toward the Apache goal. The ball caromed off the crossbar and bounced just behind the goal line to tie the match 1-1.

Following two 10-minute overtime periods, the teams went to the PK period.

Both teams went 2 for 2 to open the session, with Blinn sophomore midfielder Marguerite Funk and sophomore defender Ashlee Rodriguez burying consecutive shots. Tyler would make its next two attempts, however, while the Bucs were unable to answer.

The Apaches out-shot the Bucs 8-7.

Freshman goalkeeper Haidlyn Hawkins made six saves for Blinn.

"This young group showed incredible grit all the way to the final whistle," Jackson added. "This game marks the end of the Blinn careers of several players who will be remembered here for years to come."
