Grinnell returns to winning ways in Midwest Conference with convincing victory over Beloit

BELOIT, Wis. - Looking to return to its winning ways in Midwest Conference play, Grinnell College's men's soccer team delivered with a 4-1 thumping of Beloit College on the latter's pitch Tuesday afternoon.

Samuel Gojjam '27 scored two goals and had an assist for the Pioneers, who improved to 9-2-1 overall and 3-2 in the league. 

Gojjam, who upped his team-high goals total to eight, boosted his career total to 23 which is tied for 10th in program history.

Also scoring for the Pioneers were Daniel Katsanovich '30 and Jake Brecknock '28. Jack Alexander '29 worked 78 minutes at keeper for Grinnell, making two saves and getting the victory. Braydon Depew finished off the contest in goal.

The Pioneers got on the board just 10 minutes into the game when Gojjam connected. 

The Bucs, who fell to 0-11-1 overall and 0-3-1 in the MWC, tied things up in the 16th minute before Gojjam scored again two minutes later to put the Pioneers ahead 2-1 at halftime. That goal was assisted by Emmett Krez '29 and Jake Lu '30.

Grinnell made it 3-1 in the 65th minute on Katsanovich's goal, his second of the year.

The Pioneers finished off the victory with Brecknock's goal in the 78th minute. The goal, assisted by Gojjam and Colton Depew '30, was Brecknock's second of the season.

Grinnell fired off a season-best 29 shots, just one off making the program's all-time top 10 list. Demi Oni '27 and Brecknock had four shots each, while Krez, Gojjam, Lu, Luke Akosa '30, Kanata Mizutani '28 had three apiece. Gavin Egeland '30 and Katsanovich posted two shots each.

Grinnell has a huge MWC test Saturday at Lake Forest College.
