GRINNELL, Iowa – Grinnell College's women's soccer team hung right with Carleton College for most of Saturday's soggy contest at Springer Field, but the Knights pulled away in the end to post a 4-0 win.
Carleton got a goal in the eighth minute to take the lead, but the Pioneers' defense held the Knights off the board for nearly 50 minutes after that.
Grinnell managed five shots in the game, those coming from
Keiko Smith '25,
Beya VanRheenan '26,
Jill Paladino '23,
Tali Berk '24 and
Carlie Duus '24.
Grinnell keeper
Elinor Arneson '23 made three saves. The Pioneers are now 1-1-1, while the Knights moved to 3-1.
The Pioneers have a week off before playing their fourth home match to start the season, a contest with Nebraska Wesleyan at 3:30 p.m. next Saturday.
