The Reivers advance to the semifinals on Friday. The Tribunes finish the season with a record of 18-2.
Natalie Rogers (Webster, NY/Webster Thomas) put MCC on top in the first half before IWCC came back to tie it. Taylor Wingerden (Macedon, NY/Palmyra-Macedon) then restored the one-goal advantage for Monroe with a goal of her own.
