Preview: Alameda vs. Jefferson
The Alameda Pirates will head out on the road to take on the Jefferson Saints at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
Alameda couldn't capitalize on their home-pitch advantage in their season opener. They wound up on the wrong side of a tough 4-1 walloping at the hands of Addenbrooke Classical Academy two weeks ago.
Meanwhile, Jefferson has not done well against Arvada recently (they were 0-5 in their previous five matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way two weeks ago. Jefferson never let Arvada onto the board and left with a 5-0 victory. The high-flying offensive performance was a huge turnaround for Jefferson considering their one-goal performance the match before.
They were led to victory by the tag-team duo of
Alexia Martinez Anima and
Elexis Cochran, who scored all five of Jefferson's goals. The pair have combined for a total of six so far this season.
Alameda beat Jefferson 4-2 in their previous meeting back in March of 2023. The rematch might be a little tougher for Alameda since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
