ALLENDALE, Mich. – The No. 2 Grand Valley State Lakers dominated possession and chances in a 2-0 win over the Parkside Rangers Friday (Sept. 24) night at the GVSU Soccer Field.

A bevvy of chances saw the Lakers swarming before they finally broke through at the half-hour mark. A foul deep in Parkside territory set up the chance as
Cate Brown chipped the ball into the center of the box for
