Western women’s soccer wins national title in historic fashion

Etch it in stone. Scrawl it in the record books. Heck, update the Wikipedia page.

The Western Washington University women’s soccer team is the NCAA Division II national champion after beating three-time defending champion Grand Valley State 3-2 on Saturday in Kansas City, Mo.

It’s the first championship in program history and the 10th team national championship in WWU history. The Vikings (24-0-1) did it in record-breaking style with their 24th consecutive victory, breaking the all-time Great Northwest Athletic Conference record for longest winning streak. Those 24 break another GNAC record for most wins in a season.
