The Lady Dutch soccer team took the trip to Grass Lake on Wednesday and came back with another ISL win.

Coach Sibilski described the first half, "Manchester got off the mark early with a goal two and half minutes into the game. Hannah Woods finished a Rayna Edwards cross. Manchester’s second goal came on the counter attack with Natalie Bargardi playing in Rayna Edwards to add her first goal of the game. The Lady Dutch added the third when Emma Mrocko finished from a Mikayla Ball corner."

The score at half-time was 3 - 0.

Manchester continued to play well well in the second half. Sibilski explained,"Grass Lake got on the board when a mix-up at the back left a Grass Lake forward wide open in front of an empty net. Manchester responded superbly, with an instant response when Mikayla Ball's corner found its way directly into the net for her first career goal. The Lady Dutch added their final goal from another corner, Hannah Woods added her second goal of the game when she got on the end of another Mikayla Ball corner."

Manchester will play Grass Lake again on Alumni field, Monday evening, for the rescheduled Battle for Sight game. There will be a 5:30 pm kickoff.
