It was a hard end to a season built on keeping opponents out. Belhaven recorded nine shutouts before Friday, including a 2-0 win over Huntingdon in the CCS final that sent the Blazers back to the NCAA National Tournament.
That victory gave Belhaven consecutive conference tournament titles after the program won its first in 2025. The Blazers have now reached three straight CCS finals and made both of their NCAA Division III appearances in each of the past two seasons.
