CALVIN WOMEN'S SOCCER TEAM RECEIVES MIAA DEFENSIVE HONOR OF THE WEEK (written
by MIAA publicist Greg Chandler)
The Calvin defense was the story as the Knights claimed their fourth straight
MIAA championship with three straight shutout wins in the league tournament,
capped off by a 3-0 win over Alma in the championship game Saturday.
On the season, the Knights allowed just one goal against MIAA competition,
tying a league record for fewest goals allowed in a season, and shut out 10 out
of 11 opponents.
