Seven schools claimed conference regular-season titles in women's soccer on Friday, including two Birmingham universities that won their first championships.

Samford secured the Ohio Valley Conference crown with a 1-0 triumph over visiting Jacksonville State, and UAB won the Conference USA title by beating South Florida, 2-0, in Tampa.

Tennessee, Cal Poly, Denver, Loyola, Md., and Southeastern Louisiana also clinched conference titles on Friday.

Samford, which moved to the OVC this fall from the Atlantic Sun Conference, clinched its title when freshman Allison Stone headed home Marian Wagner's cross in the 81st minute.

Tara Kidwell and Jill Knottek scored second half goals to lift UAB, which won its fifth straight match and set a school record with its ninth shutout of the season. Its 13 victories also are a school mark.

The Birmingham-based schools can claim automatic bids to the NCAA tournament with victories in their conferences' tournaments.

Samford will play host to the OVC final four, meeting the UT Martin- Southeast Missouri State winner in the semifinals next Friday. UTM is home against SEMO in a quarterfinal on Tuesday.

UAB will face Saint Louis or host Charlotte in a Conference USA semifinal on Wednesday.

No. 15 Tennessee won the Southeastern Conference's Eastern Division title outright with a 1-0 win at Georgia as Canadian World Cup forward Rhian Wilkinson tallied in the 20th minute. The Lady Vols, who had clinched a share of the divisional crown by beating Kentucky last weekend, will be the No. 1 seed at the SEC Tournament next week at Orange Beach, Ala. Auburn, which won the SEC's Western Division, will be seeded second.

No. 24 Cal Poly won its second straight Big West Conference title and its fourth in six years, beating Utah State, 2-0, as Erica Claussen and Erin Martin netted first-half goals.

Denver claimed its second successive Sun Belt Conference championship, topping host Florida International, 3-1, as Jenni Harris scored a goal and assisted strikes by Melissa Behrent and Lleane Grimditch.

Loyola, Md., clinched a tie for its fourth successive Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference championship, edging Canisius, 1-0, on freshman Carolyn Kennington's 10th goal of the season. The Greyhounds opened a three-points lead on Niagara, which fell to Rider, 1-0, in overtime. Niagara can earn a share of the crown with a victory at home over Loyola on Sunday.

Southeastern Louisiana clinched the Southland Conference title, beating Nicholls State, 3-0, on Kim McNally's second-half hat trick.

In other action, No. 1 North Carolina topped Florida State, 1-0, to finish its regular season with a perfect (18-0-0) mark; Big 12 champ Colorado beat Nebraska for the first time, 3-1, in icy conditions at Boulder; and Dayton strided toward its sixth successive Atlantic-10 title with a 2-1 win at Duquesne. Richmond, a point ahead of the Flyers heading into Friday's action, fell from the top spot when upset by lowly La Salle.
