The 7th grade boys soccer team were victorious over Jenison yesterday. The Dux were led by Micah Henry as he netted two goals in the first half putting the dux up 2-0. Strong midfield play by Steven Garrison, Oliver Bouvier, Carson Hauch and Sam DiLaura kept the ball pinned in the Dux offensive zone. Second half goals came off the foot of Trigve Elkins and and Landon Demint as the Dux sealed the 4-1 victory. Jacob Schultz and Max Settlemyer did a great job in goal keep the Dux in the lead. 

The 8th grade boys soccer team conceded two goals in the opening half in their match against Jenison, before rallying for four unanswered goals in securing a hard fought 4-2 victory over the Wildcats. Diego Mendoza cut the Jenison lead to 2-1 early in the second half after Sammy Salas drove into the box and cut the ball back across the face of the goal. Mendoza's point blank blast gave the keeper no chance.

Over the next 10 minutes, Salas netted to goals of his own giving the Dux a 3-2 lead with about 10 minutes to play. Austin Mansaray added an insurance goal by out-hustling two Wildcat defenders to get on the end of a slotted ball from the midfield by Salas. Mansaray's first touch played him behind both defenders where he calmly chipped the ball over the onrushing keeper's hands and into the wide open net.

The defensive unit of Aden Bannach, Austin Palomo, Jacob Rios, Carter Hughes and Gael Almageur played an intelligent and resilient second half. Tyler Dykstra had a great match in net, making 7 saves.

The Dux travel to Hamilton on Thursday for their 3rd game in four days. Well done boys!
