River Falls, Wis. – The Macalester College women's soccer team played its third game of the 2021 fall campaign in a non-conference match against UW-River Falls on Wednesday September 8 in River Falls, Wis., beating the Falcons 1-0.

The game seemed to belong to the Scots, who out-shot the Falcons 18 to 4. In the first half, sophomore Ella Thomsen (Palo Alto, CA/Palo Alto) had two of her three shots saved by UW- River Falls goalkeeper Kaylie Krueger. Juniors Abby Ecker (Portland, OR/Saint Mary's Academy) and Lucy Grochulska (Henrico, VA/Henrico) each got off two shots this half, as well as senior Alice Bieda (Downers Grove, Ill./Downers Grove North).

The Scots continued their attack on the Falcons in the second half, putting pressure and creating an abundance of opportunities. However, it wasn't until the 84^th minute when junior Julia Kispert (Atherton, CA/Menlo-Atherton) put the ball into the back of the net and put the Scots ahead.
 
The Scots look to keep this positive momentum moving forward in their season. Macalester now has a record of 2-0-1. Their next game will be Wednesday, Sept. 15, against Concordia College (Minn.) at Macalester Stadium.
