Take Falcon Ridge Road up to Hard Way and take a left. You will see the soccer fields as soon as you turn left. You can change the map to satellite and zoom in and see the fields. I hope this helps.

Dixie State College women’s soccer posted another solid season as Dixie played to a 13-6-1 overall record, including a 9-3-0. PackWest mark, and at one eight of its last 10 matches to close out the season.
