Soccer Preview: Streaking Reno Faces Slumping Mcqueen

The Reno Huskies will venture away from home to take on the McQueen Lancers at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Reno has three straight victories, McQueen has three straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the pitch.

Coming off of a narrow one-goal win over Reed, Reno left no doubt about the outcome versus North Valleys on Wednesday. The Huskies were the clear victors by a 3-0 margin over the Panthers. The game was close at halftime, but Reno turned on the heat in the second half with two goals.

Meanwhile, Wednesday just wasn't the day for McQueen's offense. They took a 2-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of Sparks. While losing is never fun, McQueen can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Nevada soccer rankings (they are ranked 47th, while Sparks are ranked seventh).

McQueen has now lost six of their last eight games on the road. That leaves them at a 4-8-1 record this season. As for Reno, they have now won three of their last four games on the road. That somehow still isn't as good as their 10-2-2 record this season.
