CLINTON, N.Y.Union, winners of the two previous conference tournament women's soccer championships, will not add a third Liberty League title to its impressive resume this year.  William Smith avenged an earlier loss at the hands of the Dutchwomen by capturing a 1-0 victory on Hamilton's Love Field.  The Herons will meet the top-seeded Continentals, who defeated Skidmore, 2-0, for the tournament title and the automatic NCAA berth that goes with it.

Kate Warner  scored in the 52nd minute to lead No. 24 William Smith (13-2-2) past the 14th-ranked Dutchwomen (16-2-1). Warner's first shot from close range hit the post and came right back to her. She then slid the ball past Union goalkeeper Julie Gawronksi for her fourth goal this year. Nikki Dudley made seven saves for the Herons, who will play in their third straight league title game. Gawronski stopped three shots and surrendered just her fourth goal all year.

The game was played in blistering conditions with a constant strong, chilling wind causing a rain-sleet mix to fall on the teams throughout the afternoon.  The Dutchwomen opened the first half with the wind but could not get the ball past Dudley despite a 6-3 shot on goal advantage at the break.

Union must wait to see if it receives an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament.  The Dutchwomen have been to the national event each of the last five years.  The setback broke Union's 10-game win streak.
