The Saints were twice on the cusp of qualifying for the second round before being edged out on penalties.
St Mirren Women head coach Kate Cooper insists her players will come back stronger after a bruising late cup defeat against Stenhousemuir.
The Saints had looked to hold firm but agonisingly suffered a dramatic late leveller in the 90th minute that took the end-to-end game to extra-time. Cooper told Renfrewshire Live Sport: “Any neutral supporter would have loved that game. It was so attacking and a brilliant advert for women’s football.“We faced up to that physical challenge really well and to go ahead three times away from home was very pleasing.
"There was real hurt and disappointment after the penalty shoot-out, naturally. But there’s lots of positives to take and as much as we’d have liked a good cup run, our main focus is on getting promotion this season.The Buddies welcome Airdrie to Mossedge this Sunday for their highly-anticipated first home league game of the campaign.
