Marquette 7, Houghton 1
On Saturday, September 11, the MSHS Varsity Boys Soccer team hosted Houghton at the Kaufman Sports Complex. Marquette used a quick start to distance themselves from the Gremlins to come away with a 7-1 victory.

John Weber then scored from a Zane Phillips free kick. Just 10 seconds later, Max Dawson intercepted the ensuing kickoff and scored an unassisted goal for a 3-0 halftime lead.
In the second half, Dawson scored his second goal from an assist by Hayden Byma. Ethan Sandstrom then made it 5-0 from a Dawson assist.
Houghton would cut the lead to 5-1 with a penalty kick before Pickard scored two more goals with assists from Johnson and Byma for a 7-1 final score.
Harrison Anthos stopped three shots in net for MSHS.

- “It was really good effort today and we executed the game plan flawlessly. Offensively, we had five different guys score and five guys with assists, which is better than we expected.”
