The Greenville soccer programs each picked up wins in their SLIAC
conference openers last weekend. The men's team won a 2-1 overtime
thriller against Spalding while the Lady Panthers won by the same
2-1 score. It marked the second wins of the season for both
teams. |
The Iowa Wesleyan golf team placed second in the MacMurray
Invitational last week. The Tigers finished their round with a team
score of 307 and were led by Blake Mitchell and Trent Hoekstra who
each shot a 75 to tie for 5th place overall. |
MacMurray announced the hiring of Abby Lowe to the women's
basketball coaching staff. Lowe, a 2010 graduate of MacMurray, was
a SLIAC First Team All-Conference performer in 2009. |
Principia swept this week's Cross Country Players of the Week

Webster record books last week. Davis is now in third place on the
school's career saves list and is third all-time in career
victories. |
The Westminster men's soccer team started conference play the
right way with a 1-0 win over Principia last week. The Blue Jays
were led by goalkeeper Raul Romero who recorded his first
collegiate shutout while making seven saves. Westminster has now
won two of their last three games. |
