Suggested Video

Virginia Academy has enjoyed the comforts of home their last three games, but now they'll head out on the road. They will venture away from home to square off against the Seton Conquistadors at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. Virginia Academy's last three games have been decided by no more than a goal, so don't be surprised if it's a close one.

Seton will have to contend with a Virginia Academy team hungry for a win, something the squad hasn't seen yet this season. Virginia Academy and The Covenant finished up their matchup with a 0-0 draw on Friday. That draw made it three straight for the Patriots.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Seton). They blew past Fredericksburg Christian 6-1 on Friday. Given the Conquistadors' advantage in MaxPreps' Virginia soccer rankings (they are ranked eighth, while the Eagles are ranked 45th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Seton's offense was hitting Fredericksburg Christian from everywhere, as five different players booted in a goal. Philip Vander Woude led that balanced group of strikers and accounted for two goals all by himself.

With that draw, Virginia Academy's record moves to 0-4-3. As for Seton, their victory bumped their record up to 4-1-1.
