Soccer Preview: Banning Lewis Academy vs. Nederland
The Banning Lewis Academy Stallions will venture away from home to square off against the Nederland Panthers at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. Both are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.
While Banning Lewis Academy fans will have to keep waiting for their squad to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Tuesday's season opener. They were the clear victor by an 11-1 margin over Dolores Huerta Prep last Tuesday. Nathaniel Berrios was a massive factor in the win as he booted in six goals all by himself.
Meanwhile, Nederland had already won three in a row and they went ahead and made it four on Tuesday. They put the hurt on the Mustangs with a sharp 11-3 victory. Considering the Panthers have won three contests by more than two goals this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Nederland's lineup was just a bit different on Tuesday as Maddox Gioia got a bit more time on the pitch (80 vs. his season average of 43.1). Gioia made the most of the opportunity, scoring two goals and three assists and six steals. A few more games like that and he might be seeing even more time going forward.
