Limestone held Wingate without a shot on goal for the day, and Schutt made good on Emily Bozard's pass in the second half with the game-winning goal. Schutt beat the goalkeeper to the right for her 12th goal of the season, and the difference-maker to send Limestone to the NCAA Tournament.

Bozard's assist locked up Most Valuable Player honors for the tournament. Saints goalkeeper Samantha Aguilar-Hopkins, meanwhile, completed her ninth shutout of the season and second in the tournament after Limestone blanked Anderson in the opener.

The Saints now ready for the NCAA Tournament with a 12-3-2 overall mark, and wins in four of their last five matches.
