MONMOUTH, Ill. - Grinnell College's football team was within 7-0 after one quarter, but Monmouth College picked up steam from there for a 69-6 victory Saturday afternoon.

The Pioneers' score came early in the fourth quarter when Henry Baird '25 hit Danny Quirk '25 with a 7-yard scoring pass. That came on the first play after Finn O'Malley '26 recovered a fumble for the Pioneers.

Baird threw for 47 yards on 6-of-9 completions, while Grayson Woodhouse '24 led the team's rushing attack. Garrett Wilson '25, Nick Rhinehart '25 and Noah Smith '27 each had two receptions.

Defensively, Breck Bishop '26 had 10 tackles, Hugh Werner '25 added seven and Ajay Griffin '27, Keaton Fitzgerald '26 and TJ Lawrence '25 had six each.

Grinnell is 2-2 in the Midwest Conference and 2-3 overall, while Monmouth moved to 3-1 in the league and 3-2 in all games.

The Pioneers play at Lake Forest College next Saturday.
