FALL RIVER Bristol Community College women's soccer, led all fall by Somerset freshman Noa Beaudry, ended its season Friday afternoon with an 8-1 loss to host Genesee Community College at the NJCAA Division III national tournament in Batavia, N.Y.

The consolation game came a day after a 9-0 loss to top-seeded Delta College of University Center, Mich., in the quarterfinals of the NJCAA Division III Women's Soccer National Championships, according to the results Bristol Athletics posted. Bristol, the No. 8 seed and the Region XXI and Northeast District champion for the second year in a row, finishes 11-3.

Genesee, the No. 4 seed, had lost 1-0 to No. 5 Suffolk Community College in its own quarterfinal Thursday, and Genesee Athletics' schedule for Friday listed its consolation game against Bristol at 1:30 p.m.

It was the Bayhawks' second straight trip to the national tournament. A year ago they lost 4-0 to Delta in the quarterfinals and 5-1 to Brookdale Community College in the consolation game, the college's 2025 schedule shows, and Delta went on to win the 2025 NJCAA national championship, according to Delta College.
