Soccer Game Preview: Des Moines Christian vs. Gladbrook-Reinbeck

The Des Moines Christian Lions will square off against the Gladbrook-Reinbeck Rebels at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

Des Moines Christian is likely headed into the match with a focus on the second half, which is when things went downhill against Gilbert on Thursday. The Lions took a 2-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Tigers. Having soared to a lofty seven goals in the game before, Des Moines Christian's shutout was a dramatic turnaround.

Meanwhile, Gladbrook-Reinbeck didn't get the result they wanted in their first game with Aplington-Parkersburg on Thursday. They came up short against the Falcons, falling 6-2.
