Box Score ADRIAN, Mich. - Today the sixteenth ranked Calvin women's soccer team traveled to Adrian to take on the Bulldogs where a powerful offensive performance allowed the Knights to claim the MIAA regular season championship.
 
The Knights came out hot as just seven minutes into the match graduate student Sophie Mueller (North Muskegon, Mich./North Muskegon) carried the ball up the left side of the field. As she got closer to the end line she sent a cross into the six-yard box where sophomore Mikaela Waroway (Ann Arbor, Mich./Father Gabriel Richard) tapped it past the charging Bulldogs goalkeeper to give Calvin the lead.
 
Just ten minutes later, sophomore Katherine Bergman (Farmington Hills, Mich./Farmington) found the ball at her feet on the right flank. With a Bulldog defender closing in she sent a high, arcing cross towards the back post to Mueller who redirected the ball into the bottom corner of the goal to extend the Calvin lead.
 
In the second half, the Knights kept things rolling as Waroway claimed possession in enemy territory. She did a quick survey of the field before finding junior Elie Farrell (Wheaton, Ill./Wheaton Warrenville South) streaking down the right wing. Farrell beat out one Bulldog defender and then found Mueller who scored her second goal of the evening to make the score 3-0.
 
Less than a minute later, graduate student Liz Williams (Grand Rapids, Mich./Grand Rapids Christian) got in on the scoring action when she buried a rocket from outside the eighteen-yard box nicely into the top corner of the net.
 
For the rest of the match, the Calvin defense continued its stellar performance as it held the Bulldogs chances to a minimum and finished the game with their eleventh clean sheet of the season. The Knights outset Adrian 11-8 while Calvin goalkeeper Kalex Dodge (Leslie, Mich./Leslie) recorded two saves.
