After dropping a tough game at Adrian on Saturday, the Knights women’s soccer team looked to rebound on an sun-splashed Tuesday afternoon as they played host to rival Hope. Coming into play with identical 4-2 conference records, the game promised to be a good one. The match lived up to its billing but unfortunately for the Knights, they wound up on the wrong side of the scoreboard in a game won by Hope 3-2. Freshman Sam Osterhaven and junior Liz Cancel accounted for Calvin’s goals.
