The Junior Varsity Boy's Soccer Team saw a return to form on Thursday with a 3-1 win against the Hamilton Hawkeyes. The Dux were able to control most of the possession at the start of the game with a strong attack that was having trouble finding the back of the net until Freshman Spencer Therrian put a nicely placed shot over the Hamilton goalkeeper. The rest of the first half saw the Dux create more chances but unable to convert any into goals. The halftime score was 1-0.
The Dux continued to press towards the Hamilton goal in the 2nd half. Their persistence paid off when Sophomore captain Ethan Bosch was fouled in the Hamilton box and earned the Dux a penalty kick. The kick was taken by Bosch and he put it past the keeper to make it 2-0. The Hawkeyes didn't give up and were able to pull a goal back with a nice shot from distance and make the score 2-1 with over 20 minutes left in the game.
The Hawkeyes pushed for an equalizer but with patient play from the midfielders including Nathan Wilson and captain Isaac Hondorp as well as strong defending by the back line they were not able to find another goal and ended up conceding again when Ethan Bosch was able to put a shot under the keeper for his 2nd goal of the match and 3rd for the Dux. That was the final goal of the match and the Dux were able to leave Hamilton with a 3-1 win and improve their record to 3-1-1. The Dux will host the Holland Dutch on Monday, September 10.
