Lady Pioneers Three-peat Parrinello captures second individual title Ashley Joers Editorial Staff
For the third time in three years, the women’s golf team has won the Midwest Conference championship for Carroll University. The Lady Pioneers ended the three day meet in Springfield, Ill., with a score of 1005, 141 strokes above par, but 13 strokes below Grinnell College. A combined first-day score of 338, the worst singleday total for Carroll, was lower than the next highest of any team on any other day. Angelina Parrinello led the team by claiming her second individual Midwest Conference championship. She also won back in 2009. Parrinello shot 82, 76 and 79 on respective days to finish with a three-day score of 237, 21 strokes above par, but 8 strokes below Grinnell’s Mallory Messin. “I am very happy to win my second individual championship,” Parrinello said. “I knew it was a possibility if I just went out and played my best and it ended up going my way.” Parrinello wasn’t alone near the top of the leaderboards, though. Four other Carroll golfers joined her in earning All-Midwest Conference honors. Erin Sullivan (252), Morgan Zuleger (255), Lauren Felton (264) and Brooke Berkenpas (267) fin-

ished in the top ten to earn their honors. “The team has grown so much this year,” Parrinello said. “Every
week we would set some kind of record and we would turn around and break it again the next week.” The team will compete in
the NCAA Division III National Championship in May. “Our goals for the 2011 NCAA Division III Tournament are just to
play our best and keep improving,” Parinello said. “There are some amazing teams that get to play and it is awesome to be a part of it.”

In front of nearly 3,000 fans, the Pioneer football team tore apart the Lawrence University Vikings. Lawrence fought the Pioneers point for point for the first 15 minutes of the game, taking a 10-10 tie into the second quarter, but takeaways plauged the remainder of the game. Viking quarterbacks Luke Barthelmass and Sam Kassow combined to throw four interceptions, combined with three fumbles recovered by the Pioneer defense. All but one turnover led to points for Carroll. The Pioneers put up a staggering 34 points in the second quarter to take a 44-17 lead into the half. Most of the second half was spent in Lawrence territory. The Vikings never scored again. The Pioneers threw up another

In terms of yardage, the Pioneers put up nearly twice as many total yards, outgainining the Vikings 468-237. The score was, perhaps, not the worst part of the game for Lawrence. Lawrence had four rushers combine for only a single net rushing yard. Carroll, on the other hand, nine rushers combine for nearly 300 yards on the ground. With four games left in the season, Carroll sits at 4-1 in the Midwest Conference, 5-1 Overall. They are second in the conference behind Monmouth College, who is currently undefeated in conference play. Carroll has the top ranked defense in the Midwest Conference, allowing under 300 total yards per game. They have the second best rushing defense, trailing St. Nor-
