The Mississippi Valley State University Devilettes
claim the 2005 SWAC Women’s Soccer Title with a 2-1
victory over the Jackson State Lady Tigers.  The win
gives the Devilettes an automatic bid to the 2005 NCAA
Soccer Tournament.
The Devilettes scored first on a goal by Brooke Falke
on a assist by Sonia Curvelo (22:41).  Mississippi
Valley scored again in the 65th minute when Curvelo
took a pass from Nicole Karsay and found the back of
the net.
“We at Mississippi Valley State are happy to have gain
this championship,” said MVSU head coach Dean Joseph,
also named conference coach of the year.  “Both (MVSU)
and Jackson State came here ready to play.  Both teams
played really hard, but I am just glad we were able to
end the game with the win.”
Jackson State would score less than two minutes later
when Kim Cay Brown found Christine Walker for the
goal.
Mississippi Valley State now awaits the seedings of
the 2005 NCAA Soccer Tournament.
