Central’s playoff hopes were terminated by Montana State University Billings (MSUB) this past Saturday. The Wildcats were fighting for the last playoff spot in the GNAC championship, just needing one win to enter.

The team went 3-0-1 in four games, before the match with MSUB, to keep their playoff hopes alive.

MSUB scored in the 49th minute, giving them a 1-0 lead, which eventually won the match.

The Wildcats had multiple opportunities for an equalizer, as they had two shots on goal in the 78th and 81st minute.

Central had their third opportunity to score when they received a corner kick in the 90th minute, however, MSUB cleared the ball and retained the lead.

Junior Allie Bohnett and sophomores Mackenzie Nolte and Whitney Lowe all earned Second Team All-GNAC spots.
