Soccer Game Preview: River Islands vs. Liberty Ranch

The River Islands Riptide will square off against the Liberty Ranch Hawks at 6:00 p.m. on Monday.

River Islands can't be too happy about their upcoming road contest considering what happened when they opened their season away from home on Tuesday. They lost 4-1 to Lathrop. Sophia Castellon was hit with a yellow card, which may have had some impact on her (and the team's) ability to make aggressive plays.

River Islands' goal came courtesy of Violeta Castillo.

Meanwhile, Liberty Ranch kept a clean sheet against Lindhurst on Saturday. They came out on top against the Blazers by a score of 2-0.

River Islands suffered a grim 6-0 defeat to Liberty Ranch in their previous matchup back in November of 2024. Can the Riptide avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
