Soccer Game Preview: Spring vs. College Park

The Spring Lions will face off against the College Park Cavaliers at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. Spring has given up an average of 3.8 goals per game this season, so hopefully the team got some defensive drills in this week.

Spring came into their game last Monday off a hard-fought close win, but unfortunately suffered a serious change of fortune. They came up short against Aldine, falling 9-1. The Lions haven't had much luck with the Mustangs recently, as the team has come up short the last seven times they've met.

Spring's goal came courtesy of Emily Mendez, who's now up to 51 this season.

Meanwhile, College Park kept a clean sheet against New Caney on Monday. They put the hurt on the Eagles with a sharp 5-0 victory. The result was nothing new for the Cavaliers, who have now won 11 contests by three goals or more so far this season.

College Park has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-8-1 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 20 goals over those six games. Spring's defeat dropped their record down to 9-8-2.
