GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The Adrian College women's soccer team lost 3-1 in the team's Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association road opener at Calvin on Saturday afternoon. The loss gives the Bullldogs their third straight conference loss.

"We'd prefer to get a result, but there are many positives to take forward. We have to commit to 90 minutes of focus and intensity on Tuesday at Kalamazoo as we continue this tough road stretch.
