Pioneers Lose to Lawrence


One of the beautiful aspects of the Midwest Conference is that any team can win any game no matter the opponent.  And despite having beaten common opponent Monmouth, who Lawrence lost to 56-20, the Pioneers fell at home on Saturday, 24-14.

Sam Poulos '16 and Jacob Meixler '15 accounted for both of Grinnell's touchdowns on passes of 11 and 68 yards.  Poulos completed 12-of-27 passes for 156 yards, while Meixler had 113 yards on seven receptions. TJ Schaid '13 had his second 100-plus yard rushing game in the last three outings as he gained 111 yards on 25 carries.Defensively, David Ternes '15 had a game-high 15 stops and a sack while Drew Blumberg '13 had 11 tackles and Richard Renteria '15 nine.

Final home game is this Saturday against St. Norbert at 1pm.  It's also Senior Day!
