This weekend the Carleton College men’s golf team competed in the Saint John’s Fall Invitational held at Blackberry Ridge Golf Course and Greystone Golf Club. In an extremely strong field—including three top-25 DIII teams and four others receiving votes—the Knights struggled with strong winds and long fescue on both courses, finishing the tournament 15th out of 17 teams.

Juniors Ziyi Wang and Ayumi Sakamoto finished second and third, respectively, as Carleton won its own D3 Classic event by 14 shots.

The Carleton College women’s soccer team got back on the winning track, going on the road and knocking off Hamline University, 1-0, for the Knights’ first victory in MIAC play. Once again, Nora Mertz delivered the key goal, her third game winner of the season.
