The first team to four goals wins; at least, that was true in last week’s four soccer matches for the Caledonia/Spring Grove/Houston boys who won the first two and dropped the last pair. They went 1-1 in conference contests (St. Charles/Lewiston-Altura and La Crescent-Hokah) and also 1-1 in non-league action (Stewartville and La Crosse Aquinas). The Warriors (3-4-1, 2-2-1 TRC) scored in each game with 10 goals overall, half of them from the foot of Austin Meyer.
