The Dux varsity soccer team overcame difficult field conditions and cold, blustery weather to defeat Grand Rapids Union 4-1 on Tuesday night. Abby Winn had a hat trick and Marissa Ybarra added another. Izzy Schoenberg assisted on Winn's third goal, while Abby Gruppen assisted on Ybarra's goal. Grace Caywood faced 1 shot on net.

"We were able to match their physicality and were able to dictate play from the opening whistle. We knew coming in that we needed to dominate time of possession and control the midfield because Union has a very dangerous counterattack, with two talented and physical players up top. They had one good look at goal in the second half and were able to put one past us. Other than that, our team managed everything tonight really well. Our back line held up on a tough surface, and our attacking play was more diverse tonight. Another great team win."

The Dux return to action on Thursday night when they travel across the pond to play Zeeland East. The Dux are 5-1-1 on the season (4-0-1 in the OK Green).
