Soccer Game Preview: Chatham vs. Hudson

The Chatham Panthers will head out to square off against the Hudson Bluehawks at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.

Chatham came into their game on Monday off a hard-fought close win, but unfortunately suffered a serious change of fortune. They lost 4-0 to Waterford-Halfmoon. While losing is never fun, Chatham can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' New York soccer rankings (they are ranked 431st, while Waterford-Halfmoon are ranked 116th).

Meanwhile, neither Hudson nor Germantown could gain the upper hand on Friday so the two teams had to settle for a 0-0 draw.

Chatham has been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last seven matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-8-1 record this season. Hudson's draw makes their record 5-8-2 this season.

Everything went Chatham's way against Hudson in their previous meeting back in October of 2024, as Chatham made off with a 5-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Panthers since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
