    Hamilton College travels to Skidmore College for a 2009 Liberty League women's soccer tournament semifinal game at Skidmore's Wachenheim Field in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., on Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 4 p.m.

    Click here for live statistics. Hamilton is the No. 3 seed and the Thoroughbreds are the second seed in the four-team tournament. The other semifinal features No. 4 seed Union College at top seed William Smith College. The winners meet in the championship game on Saturday, Nov. 7, at the site of the highest remaining seed with an automatic bid to the NCAA Division III tournament on the line.

    The Continentals are familiar with Skidmore as Hamilton edged the Thoroughbreds 1-0 at home in the regular season finale on Oct. 25. The Continentals finished just behind Skidmore in the standings with a 5-2-0 record. The Thoroughbreds ended up 5-1-1.

    Hamilton is seeking its second tournament title in the Continentals' seventh appearance in this event. Skidmore has never won the tournament title in five previous appearances. The teams met in the tournament once before -- a 2-0 win for Hamilton in the 2004 semifinals.
