    WOMEN'S SOCCER

    KALAMAZOO - The Calvin women's soccer team came away with a 2-1 victory on a
    cold and windy afternoon at Kalamazoo's McKenzie Field. The win was the
    eighth straight for Calvin and improves the record of the Knights to 7-2-1 in
    the MIAA and 9-4-1 overall.

    All the scoring came in the first half with Calvin jumping out on top with a
    goal by freshman Jill Capel (Unity Christian) off a pass from sophomore Noelle
    Berghuis (Unity Christian) in the 15th minute. It was the team-leading 15th
    goal of the year for Capel. Calvin scored its second and deciding goal when
    junior Linnea Butler (Shelton, WA) netted a pass from freshman Sarah Weesies
    (Kalamazoo Christian) for her first goal of the season in the 23rd minute.
    Kalamazoo cut the deficit to one on a goal by Jesse Geiger in the 39th minute
    but never was able to equal the score. Goaltender Lisa Campbell (Gull Lake)
    got the victory in net for Calvin, playing all 90 minutes of the game while
    making one save.

    Calvin remains in second place in the MIAA and is now three points behind
    league-leading Hope College. Calvin will be back in action at home on
    Saturday, October 25 against Albion College. Saturday's game is scheduled to
    start at noon.
