Soccer Game Preview: Mt. Pleasant vs. Iowa Valley

The Mt. Pleasant Panthers will look to take advantage of their home pitch for the first time this season as they take on the Iowa Valley Tigers at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.

Mt. Pleasant is headed into their contest with Iowa Valley looking for a result a bit more satisfying than what they got in their season opener against Mediapolis on Tuesday. The two teams finished up on equal footing with a 1-1 draw.

Meanwhile, Iowa Valley unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-pitch advantage in their season opener. They came up short against Kennedy on Thursday, falling 3-0.

Mt. Pleasant might still be hurting after the 8-0 defeat they got from Iowa Valley when the teams last played back in March of 2024. Will the Panthers have more luck at home instead of on the road? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other soccer content.
