The Eastern Florida State College women's soccer team lost in the NJCAA Division I National Championship Tournament semifinals Thursday night in Evans, Georgia.

The Titans, who are the defending national champions, lost to Iowa Western 4-2 in the semifinals to finish the season 12-3.

But Iowa Western would score two more in the first half to take a 3-1 lead. It would remain 3-1 until the Titans got back into the match with 3:24 left in the first half when Nancy Almanza scored.

The Titans had a couple of really good looks in the second half bit with 19 minutes left in the game the Reviers would score again to take the 4-2 lead.

The Titans lost in the semifinals for the eighth time and their streak of making the Final Four hit six straight seasons.
