No. 22-ranked Carleton advanced to 8-1 on the season, scoring quickly in the 13th and 21st minutes, and holding off to beat the Scots 2-1 at Macalester Stadium.  Will Mackaman (Jr., Des Moines, Ia. / Roosevelt) accounted for Macalester's goal, coming midway through the opening half off an assist from Will Matsuda (So., Portland, Ore. / Woodrow Wilson).

The Knights were awarded a penalty kick at the 12:14 mark and converted to go on top and took command of the match with another score at 20:07.

Macalester played well after that and cut the lead in half on Mackaman's first tally of the season at 25:11, but could not manage the equalizer.

Carleton out-shot the Scots 17-15, including 7-5 on tries on goal, and enjoyed a 5-2 advantage in corner kicks.

The Scots return to the pitch Saturday (Sept. 29) for a 7:30 p.m. match with Bethel at Macalester Stadium.
