Soccer Preview: Escalon vs. Ripon

Suggested Video

The Escalon Cougars are taking a road trip to challenge the Ripon Indians at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, both will really light up the scoreboard.

Ripon will have to contend with a Escalon team hungry for a victory, something the squad hasn't seen since December 10. Neither Escalon nor Ripon Christian could gain the upper hand on Friday so the two teams had to settle for a 5-5 draw. A phenomenal three-goal performance from Jesse Gomez still wasn't enough to secure a win.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Ripon). Everything went their way against Sonora on Friday as Ripon made off with a 4-1 win. The victory was familiar territory for the Indians who have now won three matches in a row.

Ripon's win bumped their record up to 9-7-1. Escalon's draw gives them a new season record of 1-8-4.
