Trinity had the majority of the 1,202 fans in the support section, but William Smith was able to manage the crowd with a quick Madeline Buckley goal in the 11th minute.
The Tigers, who've trailed multiple times in their playoff run, continued to apply pressure and pelted Heron goalkeeper Chelsea Dunay with shots. Trinity let go a total of 24 shots in the game - including nine on target - but Dunay came up big to earn her clean sheet, especially before the half when the Tigers had several opportunities.
Shortly into the second half, Trinity conceded a second goal, to Krista Longo, ultimately falling 2-0 to the Herons.
For Trinity, Kelsey Falcone had six shots, three on-goal. Senior Captain Jennifer Whitecame close on one of her three shots, as did Yasmeen Farra. Shelby Guenthardt, a senior who will graduate tied for second all-time in the program's history with 52 goals, had three strikes as well. Both of Kirby Peddicord's shots were saved, including a free kick that was deflected right in front of the goal. Emily Jorgens, who tied the NCAA record with her 30th assist of the year yesterday, also attempted a pair of shots.
William Smith attempted 12 total shots, and Trinity goalkeeper Devan Osegueda saved four of the six shots that were on frame.
Trinity's season ends at 25-1-2, which establishes a new record for wins in a single season for the women's soccer program.
