The Minnesota Aurora clinched a playoff spot with a 7-0 win on the road against Bavarian United SC on Thursday. The Aurora lead the Heartland Division of the USL W League. They are the third Central Conference team to secure a postseason berth this season.
The conference semifinals and finals will take place from July 5-7. Seeding and host sites are still to be determined.
“Credit to the people who have been here previously, we’re continuing this winning tradition,” sporting director and coach Colette Montgomery said in a press release from the team. “It’s a privilege to do that. We’re excited for the future but taking it one game at a time.”
Minnesota leads the division by four points ahead of River Light FC.
There was little doubting Thursday’s outcome.
Saige Wimes and Sophia French each scored twice, while Katelyn Duong, Mariah Nguyen and Giada Zhou also scored for the Aurora.
Wimes opened the scoring in the 27th minute, followed by Duong and Nguyen with goals before halftime. Duong has now scored is six straight games.
Minnesota finishes the regular season on Saturday at RKC Third Coast.
