Williams is 10-0 against Durham since December of 2019 and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Thursday. The Williams Yellowjackets are taking a road trip to challenge the Durham Trojans at 3:15 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Williams has four straight victories, Durham has four straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the pitch.

Durham better have a healthy lead at halftime, because if last week is any indication, that's when Williams really get things going. Williams' defense stepped up to hand Hamilton a 4-0 shutout on Thursday. Fans of the Yellowjackets have seen this all before: every one of the games they've played this season has ended in a blowout of 3+ goals.

They hit Hamilton with a three-pronged attack, as the team got scores from Leo Hernandez (2), Ernie Lemus, and Leo Esparza.

Meanwhile, Durham scored the most goals they've had this season on Tuesday, but it wasn't enough. They fell 3-1 to West Valley.

Williams pushed their record up to 4-0 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. The wins came thanks to their defensive effort, having only given up one goal over those three games. As for Durham, their loss dropped their record down to 0-4.

Everything went Williams' way against Durham in their previous matchup back in February, as Williams made off with a 12-1 victory. Will Williams repeat their success, or does Durham have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
