Box Score

South Bend, IN - The Grace Bible women's soccer team started their season off with a bang Monday evening, defeating NAIA DII Holy Cross College on the road, 3-0.

An own goal would give the Tigers an early 1-0 lead before senior forward Autumn Befus put in two more goals before the halftime buzzer to extend their lead to 3-0.  Grace was able to hold this lead all the way until the finish, recording their first ever win against an NAIA school.  Sophomore Alicia Contreras and senior Debbie Pekel both contributed an assist, and freshman goalkeeper Haley Threatt saved 6 shots on goal to solidify her shutout.

"I am really happy with the way we played today," commented Grace Head Coach Scott Teesdale.  "Our defense was outstanding and I thought we moved the ball well, but we still have a lot of room for improvement."

The Tigers return to the field against Aquinas College at 5:00 pm on Wednesday at home.
