HOLLAND CHRISTIAN MIDDLE: 1

The 8th grade boys soccer team improved to 3-0 on the season with a thrilling come from behind victory over Holland Christian. After trailing 0-1 at the half, the Dux made some adjustments and began moving the ball better and creating more quality scoring opportunities. The effort and focus paid off as Josh Overzet and Joey DeWeerd combined on a great passing sequence which led to a wide open Sammy Salas inside the penalty box. Salas' right footed blast sailed over the head of the HC keeper to knot the score at 1-1 with about 15 minutes to go in the game. 

Over the next 10 minutes, the Dux peppered the HC goal - hitting the crossbar, post, and ankles of HC defenders multiple times, but could not find the back of the net. With about 6 minutes to go, the Dux defense stoutly won the ball back and initiated a wonderful counter attack. After receiving a ball near midfield, Andrew Edwards drove down the right side of the field and played a great ball into the box. Salas gathered the ball, made a great cut away from the defender and was taken down for a penalty kick. Salas calmly slotted the PK into the right side of the net to secure the victory.

Nolan Church, Brandon Schader, Austin Mansaray and Virgil Keomoungkhoune provided great minutes off the bench for the Dux, in helping to secure the victory. Well done boys!
