Preview: Roseland University Prep vs. Kelseyville

Roseland University Prep is 3-0 against Kelseyville since January of 2023, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Thursday. The Roseland University Prep Knights will look to defend their home pitch against the Kelseyville Knights at 6:30 p.m. One thing working in Roseland University Prep's favor is that they have posted big goal totals in their last five contests.

In what's become a running theme this season, Roseland University Prep gave their fans yet another huge win on Thursday. They put the hurt on St. Helena with a sharp 6-1 win. With Roseland University Prep ahead 3-0 at the half, the game was all but over already.

Roseland University Prep's lineup was just a bit different on Thursday as John Flores got a bit more time on the pitch (80 vs. his season average of 53.33). Flores made the most of the opportunity, scoring two goals and two assists. A few more games like that and he might be seeing even more time going forward.

Meanwhile, Kelseyville and St. Helena finished up their game with a 1-1 draw. The outcome might've been different if Carlos Mendoza hadn't been hit with a yellow card, which no doubt limited his ability to make aggressive plays down the stretch.

Roseland University Prep has been performing well recently as they've won seven of their last nine games, which provided a nice bump to their 9-2-3 record this season. Kelseyville's draw makes their record 5-14-3 on the season.
