"A lot of firsts, right," said UA soccer coach Wes Hart following the victory. "First time we won a round of 32, and then a round of 16, and now a round of eight and now we're going to the round of four. There have been so many firsts this year and (I'm) just so incredibly proud of this team. Every coach out there feels like their team deserves it, but it couldn't happen to a better group of young women."

The semifinals and national title match will be hosted at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina.

The semifinal round will see Alabama take on No. 1 seed UCLA (20-2-1) on Friday, Dec. 2 for a chance to take on the winner of No. 1 Florida State (17-2-3) and No. 2 North Carolina (19-4-1).

Alabama's match against UCLA is set to begin at 7:30 p.m. local time.
