Clarke falls to 5-8-2.  Macalester received scores from Ryan Marshall (Fy., Plymouth, Minn. / Robbinsdale Armstrong), Reid Useman (Fy., Asheville, N.C. / A.C.

Tettegah and Usedom made nice passes to assist on Marshall's fourth goal of the year in the 13th minute and just four minutes before the halftime break Usedom netted his fourth on another Tettegah assist. Marshall and Erik Johnson (So., Bethesda, Md. / Landon) teamed up to assist on Carp's first Macalester career goal in the 77th minute.

Macalester will close out the regular season the next two Friday nights (Oct. 24th and 31st) against MIAC stalwarts Gustavus and Augsburg. The Scots host the Gusties next Friday and will take another seven-day rest into the finale at Augsburg. Mac is 4-3-1 in the MIAC and needs two wins and some good fortune to get into the four-team conference playoffs.
