EAST LANSING, Mich. - The Defiance College Lady Jackets won their third consecutive game, shutting out Alma College 2-0 on Wednesday, October 17. DC has now won five of its last seven games and has outscored its opponents 10-2 over its last three games.

Defiance started the game with a flurry, scoring two goals in the first ten minutes of the game. Freshman Melissa Alston scored what turned out to be the game-winner in the eighth minute, her third goal of the seaon. Just over a minute later Alston would come up big again, setting up a Cherilyn Borkholder goal to give DC a 2-0 advantage.
