Soccer Game Preview: Rudder vs. Huntsville

The Rudder Rangers will take on the Huntsville Hornets at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.

On Tuesday, Rudder and Montgomery finished up on equal footing with a 1-1 draw.

Rudder's goal came courtesy of Enrique Tirado-Lopez, who's now up to nine this season.

Meanwhile, Huntsville has been on a difficult stretch since their win on January 2. They came up short against A&M Consolidated on Tuesday, falling 5-0. While losing is never fun, the Hornets can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 666th, while the Tigers are ranked 101st).

Huntsville's defeat dropped their record down to 1-9-3. Rudder's draw makes their record 6-3-2 this season.
