Two dates of MIAA women's soccer last week saw teams make key moves heading into the final three dates of regular season competition:
• Kalamazoo was unbeaten on the week, drawing with then-third place Alma Oct. 18, 1-1; Suzanne Miller (Sr., D, Troy, Mich.) scored in the ninth minute for the Hornets. In Kalamazoo's 2-1 win at Adrian Oct. 22, Emma Tardiff (Sr., F, Plymouth, Mich.) scored in the 86th minute for the game's decisive goal.
• Hope closed the gap with a 2-0 week and trail top-seeded Kalamazoo by three points; the Dutch will need to finish with more points than the Hornets to displace Kalamazoo, as the tiebreaker is in favor of the Hornets. Elizabeth Perkins (Sr., F, Eaton Rapids, Mich.) scored twice in Hope's 4-1 win over Alma Oct. 22, giving her 20 goals on the season and her fifth multi-goal game of the year. In the 4-1 win over Olivet Oct. 19, Perkins had the game-winner and an assist; with two more assists against Alma, Perkins had nine points on the week and was involved in six of Hope's eight goals.
• Calvin posted a 2-0 week and moved past Alma for third place in the standings. Against Saint Mary's Oct. 22, Sydney Bracey (Jr., M, Cadillac, Mich.) had two assists as the Knights scored their three goals in the span of less than eight minutes in the first half in a 3-0 road win. After starting the week with a two-goal deficit at Adrian Oct. 18, Calvin buckled down with four unanswered goals to take a 4-2 victory. Bekah Maguire (So., M, Holland, Mich.) had a goal and an assist in the win.
• With a 3-0 win at Trine Oct. 18, Albion stayed in the hunt for a top-four finish. Currently tied for fifth with Olivet, the two teams are just three points behind fourth-place Alma. Both teams have three matches remaining in the final week of regular season action.
