The Grand Valley girls soccer team, known as the Mustangs, claimed their third consecutive victory over the Warriors with a 3-1 win at Corlew Stadium on Thursday evening. This win brings their overall record to 11-2 and 6-1 in the Northeastern Athletic Conference, following a loss to Cardinal by a score of 2-1 on September 28. The Mustangs are set to face Maplewood twice in a span of five days to wrap up conference play.

Seniors, such as Jocelyn Cozad, acknowledge the team's potential and improvements throughout the season, emphasizing the importance of teamwork. Coach Vail Foltz attributes their success to mastering fundamental skills, combined with the team's speed, skills, and passing abilities.
