Co-League Leader Defeats Women’s Soccer

The Prairie Fire struggled to contain the strong Lawrence squad

GALESBURG, Ill. — The Knox College women's soccer team fell, 4-0, to Lawrence University on Saturday afternoon at Jorge Prats Field, spoiling homecoming for the big crowd in attendance. The Prairie Fire (1-12-2, 0-5-1) struggled to contain a strong Vikings squad, who remained undefeated in conference play (11-4-2, 5-0-1) to remain tied for the league lead.

The Vikings got on the board early, with Maya Alberts scoring twice in the first half, netting goals in the 14th and 17th minutes, both off corner kicks. Lawrence went on to extend their lead in the second half, with Cambrie Rickard scoring twice, finding the net in the 51st and 78th minutes.

  • Despite improved offensive pressure from Knox in the second half, they managed just four shots with two on target.
  • Prairie Fire first-year goalkeeper Darby Wallig made several exceptional saves, finishing with 12 overall, but Knox could not mount a comeback.

The Prairie Fire will aim to bounce back in their final home game on Monday, Oct. 28, as they host Cornell College (2-11-0, 1-4-0 MWC) at 4 p.m. in another MWC matchup. Live video and stats will be available through the official athletics website of Knox College, PrairieFire.Knox.edu.
