CARY, N.C. (AP) — Izzy D'Aquila made her attempt and Santa Clara claimed the NCAA College Cup championship on a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw with Florida State on Monday.

Two of Florida State's penalty attempts hit the post, opening the door for 11th-seeded Santa Clara, who last won a national title in 2001.

Jenna Nighswonger scored for top-seeded Florida State in the 63rd minute but Kelsey Turnbow tied it with a goal for Santa Clara in the 84th.

The Broncos prevailed 4-1 on penalties.
