The Dux Varsity soccer team got another great conference win last night as they took on a very scrappy and physical Mona Shores team in Muskegon.  Coming off a weekend tournament win the Dux looked to continue their winning ways.  The game against Mona seemed to be very evenly matched to start as both teams looked to control possession.  Mona did not offer to many dangerous offensive threats and the Dux missed a couple of early opportunities as a quality cross just got away from Sophomore Zach Anderson and it was sent over te top of the goal.  Trigev Elkins and Micah Henry both had shots on frame but Mona's Keeper was well positioned to make the saves. Mona got on the board 1st as a long ball was sent over the top of the Dux defense who up to that point had been playing very well.  A few moments of poor defense led to a rifle of a shot that found the side netting to put Mona up 1-0.  Not even 1 minute later the Dux equalized after Trigve Elkins took the pass off of the restart, made his way through 4 or 5 Mona defenders and calmly beat the keeper to even things at 1 just before half.  The 2nd half started a little slow for the Dux as Mona ramped up their defensive pressure and continued a relentless attack with long ball after long ball but the Dux defense stood tall.  The Dux picked up their offense presence and almost put in a 2nd goal as Micah Henry took a ball on the left wing, beat a defender and placed a beautiful ball the went off of a Mona defender and hit the post.  A few other quality crosses were just missed and a beautiful shot by Gael Garcia went just over the top of the goal.   The Dux did eventually break through when Micah Henry took another ball on a dummy run from Trigve, beat 2 defenders and placed the ball smoothly through the goal keepers legs to put the Dux up 2-1.  Mona continued to press but goalie Lucas Smith and the Dux defense would not break.  The final was an outstanding 2-1 victory for the Dux who up to that point had never won at Mona Shores.  This was a tremendous game for us a we look to finish off our conference schedule Thursday back in Muskegon against a very good Reeths-Puffer team.  We look forward to another challenge on the road before finishing the regular season at home next week!
