Box Score FRANKLIN, Ind. – The Franklin College women's soccer team welcomed the Earlham Quakers to Faught Stadium on Saturday (Oct. 9) afternoon.
The Grizzlies (3-8, 2-2 HCAC) got a goal midway through the first half from Elaina Page and turned things over to their defense from there. The home side limited the Quakers (1-8, 0-3 HCAC) to just three shots on target in a 1-0 win, snapping a two-game skid.
How it Happened
After a couple quality chances early on, the Grizzlies hit pay dirt in the 25th minute when Page and Kinsey Price connected for the game-winning tally. Price sent a crossing feed in that found its way to Page's foot and from there, the back of the net.
From there, the Grizzly defense held court for the rest of the day, limiting Earlham's chances to the outside. The Quakers' last-ditch effort to tie things up came in the 88th minute, but Riley Rice was right where she needed to be to stop Earlham's Eva Lyon.
