HELENA, Mont. – Minot State University ran into some tough luck as they surrendered two goals in the final moments of each half to fall 2-0 to No. 25 Carroll College in NAIA Women's Soccer here Sunday.

The Saints (6-2-1 overall) are the top ranked team in the region, while MSU (5-3-2) entered this weekend's play ranked fourth.

MSU's Holly Chrisope (Sr., G, Chico, Calif.) gave up two goals on eight shots on goal. CC's netminder Erin Volz earned the win with five saves.
