Harig, Comfort Lead Scots to 3-1 Victory Over Olivet

After giving up a goal just minutes into the first half, the Scots took control and dominated the rest of the game, walking away with a 3-1 victory against conference foe Olivet College.

Freshman Christina Harig, Honor (Benzie Central), and sophomore Rachel Comfort, Eastpointe (South Lake), worked together to account for all three of the Scots' goals. Harig scored the first goal for the Scots at the 10:55 minute mark in the first half. With just under two minutes left in the first half, Harig assisted Comfort on a beautiful goal to give the Scots a 2-1 edge going into intermission. Mid-way through the second period, Comfort returned the favor; finding Harig with a beautiful pass that led to the knock out goal and sealed the 3-1 victory for the Scots.

With the win the Scots move into sixth place in the conference with a record of 3-4 in league play. The Scots will travel to Grand Rapids this Saturday, October 9, to face league leader Calvin College. The game is scheduled to start at noon.
