Rochester College Tops Scots, 2-0

ALMA, Mich. - The Alma College women's soccer team lost to Rochester College 2-0 Thursday (Sept. 29) at Scotland Yard.

Despite out-shooting Rochester College 16-4, the Scots could not convert on any opportunity on the afternoon. They held a distinct advantage in corner kicks, forcing 10 in the second half while allowing the opponent just one for the game and that came in the first half.

Alma falls to 3-5-1 on the season but remains steady in MIAA competition with a league mark of 2-4.

The team returns to competition Saturday (Oct. 1) for its Homecoming game against Olivet at noon. 

 

In the more than 100 years since its founding, Alma has stayed true to its roots by keeping its Scottish heritage alive. Today, Alma features a marching band clad in Kilts, a Scottish dance troupe, student pipers and its own tartan. Each year, the College hosts the Alma Highland Festival and Games, which feature traditional Scottish games and revelry.
