Pioneers Run Win Streak to Three Games!
Under unseasonably warm conditions the host Grinnell Pioneers defeated the visitors from Knox 43-35 at Rosenbloom Field. It was a tightly contested game until just into the fourth quarter when the Scarlet & Black ripped off 3 straight scores in a 4 minute span to take control of the game.
Statistically, the defense was led by Ryan Creps '12 who had 12 tackles (3.5 TFL) and Andrew Clark '14 (2 INT) while the offense was paced by the two senior wide receivers, Logan Granera '12 (7 catches for 101 yards) and Rob Seer '12 (6 for 99 yards and 3 TD). In the kicking game, Max Jacobson '14 blocked his second kick of the season, this one a PAT attempt after Knox's third score.
The victory takes the Pioneers to 4-2 overall (3-2 in MWC) and it's back on the road next Saturday, at Lawrence University (1-5, 1-4 MWC) in Appleton, Wisconsin.
Players of the week are:
Offense: Jason Peters '14
Defense: Andrew Clark '14
Special Teams: Kickoff Unit
Rookie: Emmi Sandoval '15
Practice: Max Jacobson '14

Grinnell Falls to Knox
Committing 8 turnovers and 11 penalties, the Pioneers lost to the Knox Prairie Fire 31-21 on Saturday on a hot October day in Galesburg, IL. The win drops Grinnell to 4-2 on the season and at 3-2 in MWC play, still just one game back of league leaders Ripon and Carroll with four to play.
The game got off to a great start as the offense took the first series down and scored on a Mike Bogard '12 to Kelsey Davis '12 17-yard strike. From that point forward however, nothing went right for the visiting Pioneers. Trailing 17-7 at halftime, the Pioneers had plenty of fight in them as they cut the lead to 3 points twice in the 2nd half, to 17-14 on a Robert Seer '12 28 yard catch and run with 5:30 left in the 3rd quarter and then again cut the lead to 24-21 on a Jason Peters '14 two yard scoring plunge with 13:00 minutes left in the game.
Knox proved up to the challenge and played the better game on Saturday, now it's time to regroup and get back to playing Pioneer football! With energy, pride, and passion!
Next game brings the Vikings of Lawrence University to Rosenbloom Field this Saturday for a 1 pm kickoff!
Go Pioneers!

Pioneers Beat Knox!
On a cold blustery fall day, the Grinnell Pioneers defeated Knox on the road by a final of 27-12. Knox proved to be a good challenge, as their triple-option offense did a great job of working the ball down the field, but the Pioneer defense was strong enough to withstand the charge. Our offense did a nice job of keeping the Prairie Fire defense on its heels and putting points on the board when it mattered most.
Next week we are back at home taking on the Foresters of Lake Forest. We look forward to a great game and another opportunity for a W.

Grinnell Takes on Knox!
For the second consecutive week, the Pioneers travel to west central Illinois to battle a conference foe. Beyond that, things figure to be much different this week as the Knox College Prairie Fire are winless on the year and run the triple option as opposed to Monmouth's undefeated spread out attack.
We've had a great week of practice and are excited for the opportunity to rebound and prove that we are still a very good football team. Knox is one of our biggest rivals and they will be a great foe by which we will measure our progress.
Go Pioneers!
