DECORAH, Iowa - Emma Balsley scored in the 73rd minute and
Kristen Silenzi made five saves as the Blue Devils topped Luther College 1-0 Saturday night.
Emma Balsley ripped a shot from the top of the box off the bar and in to give the Blue Devils the lead with 17 minutes left in the game.
Kate Holst took a throw in deep in the right corner and sent a nice cross over to Balsley who found the back on the net on just the third Stout shot on goal of the game.
