GAMBIER, Ohio – The Kenyon Ladies got a much better performance from their offense on Sunday as the defeated Carleton College 2-1 in a non-conference match at Mavec Field. After getting just four attempts yesterday against Salisbury, Kenyon came back on Sunday and fired 17 which included a pair of goals.
 
It didn't take long to for Kenyon to get on the board in the first half. Thirteen minutes in, midfielder Emma Klug navigated along the right side of the 18-yard box and sailed a pass just a few yards in front of the net and watched as first-year Fallon Raviol chipped in it for the Ladies' first tally.
 
That 1-0 score remained the same despite Kenyon getting four more decent shot attempts.
 
But just before halftime the Knights found the equalizer.


 
After a corner kick, a scrum for the ball right in front of the net saw one Carleton player's shot attempt get blocked. The loose ball remained in a dangerous spot for Kenyon and a few seconds later Ruby Kazemi took the deflected ball and shot into the right side of the net.
 
With a 1-1 tie score heading into the second half, the Ladies turned to their top goal scorer Maggie Smith.
 
In the 56th minute, Gillian Blackwell sent a corner into the box which was deflected away by Carleton. The loose ball came to Smith who gathered herself and fired for her sixth goal of the season.
 
The Knights got just one shot on goal the rest of the way which was denied on a diving save by Maria Paparella.
 
Kenyon is back in action on September 16 when they host Thomas More College at 5 p.m.
