TOURNAMENT CENTRAL

The No. 3-seeded Comets (12-5-2) found themselves on familiar ground after a playoff tie, as UTD was forced to win both its quarterfinal and semifinal contest last fall before falling in the ASC title game. Concordia, the event's No. 6 seed, dropped to 10-6-3 after making the program's first-ever postseason appearance.

COMMENTS FROM UTD HEAD COACH JOHN ANTONISSE

The Tornados took an early lead in the shootout when Amanda Tarpley went low and to the left give CTX a 1-0 advantage after one round of penalty kicks. But, UTD would not miss again as junior Tori Theobalt, sophomore Briann Greener, freshman Jamie Rheman and Howard each tallied successful kicks for the Comets. Jones made key saves on CTX's third and fourth tries, setting up Howard's game-winning kick that went top left.

Jones made seven saves for the Comets as UTD recorded 11th shutout of the season and advanced to the ASC semifinals for the 11th time overall and for the ninth consecutive year. The Comets have advanced to the league title game seven times, winning the title in 2002.
