Simon Kenton senior forward Lindsay Landrum scored from in front of the net 18 minutes into the first half for the lone goal of the Pioneers’ 1-0 win over Walton-Verona on Saturday.

Junior midfielder Courtney Fulmer picked up the assist, and freshman Abby Thatcher stopped two shots to earn Simon Kenton’s second shutout in two matches this season.

Dusty Jones picked up his first win as the Pioneers’ coach. He was hired late last week to take over the team.
