Winfield, KAN. - York scored two goals less than two minutes apart in the first half as they won their final regular-season game 2-1 on the road Monday night. With the win, the Panthers will host a KCAC quarterfinal game on Friday. It is the first time York will host a postseason soccer game since joining the conference.

In the 15th minute of play, Arturo Gutierrez III (SO/Hacienda Heights, Calif) fed a through ball to Jorge Alencar (SO/Recife, Brazil) at the top of the penalty area who was able to one-touch the ball into the back of the net. Just a minute and a half later the Panthers were in the attacking third due to a corner kick. The ball was cleared out to the Panthers' backline where Joao Gabriel Ferraz (JR/Fortaleza, Brazil) sent a ball right back up the middle where Jorge Keller (SO/Montenegro, Brazil) found it at his feet. Two touches later and he slid the ball to the right side past the Moundbuilder's goalkeeper.

York kept the pressure on the home team the rest of the half but was unable to add another goal. In the second half, both teams fought hard before Southwestern cut the Panthers' lead in half with a goal in the 60th minute. Gabriel Cabral (SO/Campinas, Brazil) looked to have a chance at the save until a deflection off of a Panther defender changed the direction of the ball toward the Moundbuilders' striker.

York held a 10-4 advantage with shots on goal. Southwestern's goalkeeper Matt Temple kept the Moundbuilders in the game with his seven saves.

With the hope of a first-round home game in the postseason, the Panthers defense held strong and came home with the victory.

York finishes their regular season with a 12-6 record. The Panthers will have to wait until Wednesday morning before they find out who their opponent will be. The only thing they are certain of is they don't have to travel on Friday for their first-round match.
