Soccer Game Preview: Hayward vs. Washington

The Hayward Farmers will square off against the Washington Huskies at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.

Hayward is looking to give their home crowd another W after opening their season at home on Tuesday. Their defense stepped up to hand Kennedy a 1-0 shutout. The score was all tied up 0-0 at the break, but Hayward were the better team in the second half.

Washington kicked off their season on the road on Monday and hit a couple of potholes. They fell just short of Mt. Eden by a score of 2-1.

Hayward beat Washington 2-0 in their previous matchup back in December of 2024. Will the Farmers repeat their success, or do the Huskies have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
