NORTHFIELD, Minn. – A seven-point lead midway through the second half wasn't enough to closeout Carleton College Saturday afternoon, as Bethel fell on the road 57-60. The Knights (2-2, 2-0 MIAC) trailed for the majority of the first 30 minutes, but a 25-7 run in the game's final 10 minutes kept the Royals (0-3, 0-2 MIAC) on the search for its first win of the 2012 season.
