Natchitoches, La. - The Texas State soccer team goes for its fifth Southland Conference Tournament Championship and a bid to the NCAA Tournament on Sunday when it faces off against Stephen F. Austin, in a meeting of the top two seeds of the SLC Tournament. 

The two teams owned a combined Southland Conference record of 17-1-0 during the regular season. Their one meeting this year, in San Marcos, was a 1-0 decision, with SFA's goal coming with 23 seconds left in regulation on a loose ball in the box kicked in by Kylie Louw.

On Friday night, Texas State earned a bid in the SLC Championship game after beating Sam Houston State in a shootout 3-1. The game was tied at 1-1 after double overtime. The Bearkats took a 1-0 lead in the 79th minute, before Serena Hines responded for the Bobcats, just two minutes later, tying the game at 1-1. Texas State owned a 16-3 shot advantage for the game.

Stephen F. Austin beat UTSA on Friday in its semifinal game, 2-0. Melissa Gaudet scored the game's first goal on a free kick from 25 yards out and Janae Lee converted on a 2-on-1 opportunity later in the second half, to secure the victory. For the Lady Jacks it was their 13th shutout of the season.
