Pioneers Fall Just Short at Carroll

Pioneer Kick-Off team set to start the game

After jumping out to a quick start, the Grinnell Pioneers fell short on Saturday afternoon to Carroll's version of the Pioneers by a heart-breaking final score of 21-20.

In what can only be classified as a strange game, Carroll out-gained the visiting Pioneers by more than a 2:1 ratio but after losing the halftime lead, the Scarlet & Black still had chances to get out of Wisconsin victorious but failed to capitalize on a couple scoring chances late in the 4th quarter.

After two tough road losses, the Pioneers will be back at Rosenbloom hosting Lawrence this Saturday at 1pm!  GC Pride!
