NOTRE DAME, IN -- The nationally-ranked Calvin women’s soccer team dodged
torrential rain showers and an upset bid by host Saint Mary’s, defeating the
Belles 1-0 Tuesday afternoon. The only goal of the game came roughly 13 minutes
into the second half as junior Carly Prins headed in a 15-yard shot in the box
after receiving a long chip from teammate Lauren Heyboer. Ranked 23rd in the

Liz Cancel hit the crossbar with a shot that ducked straight down and was
cleared out while junior Mindy Capisciolto hit the post in the closing
seconds.
