SILOAM SPRINGS, Ark. — The Friends University Falcons concluded their season with a 1-3 loss to (RV) Hastings College in the first round of the NAIA National Tournament on Thursday (Nov. 20). After the Broncos netted three unanswered goals in the second half, the Falcons finally broke through late, but the deficit proved too substantial to erase. Despite outshooting Hastings 14–13, Friends was unable to counter the Broncos' decisive second-half surge.

Samantha Jones provided the lone goal for the Falcons, scoring once on two attempts. Elisa Murrietta assisted on the score, contributing to the offensive push. Alexa Fonseca and Kieley Aranda led Friends in shot attempts, each recording three, with one on target. In goal, Morgan Wilkinson tallied three saves for the Falcons. 

The Falcons close out an impressive 2025 season with a 14-4-4 overall record, including a stellar 10-1-2 record in KCAC play.
