APPLETON, Wis. -- The Lawrence University women's soccer team dropped a 4-1 Midwest Conference decision to Knox College on Saturday on Ron Roberts Field at the Banta Bowl.
    Knox scored two goals in less than a minute late in the game to pull away for the victory. 
    The Prairie Fire took an early 1-0 lead on Louise Schoeffel's goal in the fifth minute, but Lawrence scored the equalizer later in the first half.
    Natalie Linebarger took a free kick and sent it through the Knox penalty box. Knox goalkeeper Carina Escobar got a piece of it, but Jackie Blake was waiting for the ball and deposited it into the back of the net to tie the game at 1-1 at the 34:48 mark.
    Knox struck back quickly on Lydia Mitchell's goal at 35:15 to grab a 2-1 edge. The game stayed that way until goals in the 78th and 79th minutes allowed Knox to pull away.
    Lawrence goalkeeper Sarah Yochem made three saves for the Vikings, and Escobar stopped two shots for the Prairie Fire.
