ORANGE CITY, Iowa - The Carroll College Women's Soccer Team beat Northwestern College 4-1 at the Pizza Ranch Classic in Orange City, Iowa Saturday Night.

Stapleton was not finished. 

In the 44th minute, Stapleton scored again to put the Saints up 2-0, her third two-goal performance in her last four games.

Early in the second half, Alexa Johnson would score for the Raiders, cutting into the Saints lead, 2-1.

Late in the match, Melissa Dugger (BIllings, Mont. / SR) would provide an insurance goal, followed by an exclamation point. Dugger scored in the 80th minute to put the Saints up 3-1, and then scored again just six minutes later to give Carroll a 4-1 win.
