UNITY CHRISTIAN HIGH SCHOOL: 7
The Dux varsity soccer team got off to a solid start against an aggressive Unity Christian, matching their skill and intensity for the first 15 minutes of their first game coming off of spring break. "Initially, we had decent movement both on and off the ball, and defended them pretty well for the first 15 - 20 minutes." Unfortunately, the first goal for Unity Christian changed the momentum of the game, and the Dux were unable to recover. Unity would add 3 more goals in the first half, taking a 4-0 lead into the break. "We didn't not recover well after that first goal. The mental and physical toughness of both teams seemed to trend in opposite directions after the first goal. We can learn a lot from this game about maintaining our composure and remaining disciplined both offensively and defensively. We struggled with that tonight and will use this as a growing experience."
Unity would add 3 goals late in the second half making the final score 7-0 in favor of the Crusaders. The loss drops the Dux to 2-1 on the season (0-1 OK Green). Taylor Twork made several huge saves in net for the Dux, and was very good in coming off her line and cutting off angles.
