In what can only be described as a defensive struggle, Grinnell lost a tough one on Saturday to perennial conference powerhouse, St. Norbert, 14-11. After an early 3-0 lead, the Pioneers surrendered two touchdowns, one in each of the second and third quarters, before a GC fourth quarter score and two-point conversion brought the hosts within 3.
We are extremely proud of our guys for their effort. We gave ourselves a chance to win the game and that is what we ask for each week. The defense played fantastic, only once in the last 3 seasons has SNC scored less than 14 points.
We are already preparing for our first road game of the 2009 season against the Carroll Pioneers on Saturday. Should be a great day to be a (Grinnell) Pioneer!
