Soccer Game Preview: Maple Mountain vs. Mountain Ridge

The Maple Mountain Golden Eagles will head out on the road to challenge the Mountain Ridge Sentinels at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday.

Maple Mountain can't be too happy about their upcoming road contest considering what happened when they opened their season away from home on Tuesday. They lost 4-0 to Lone Peak. The match was up for grabs at halftime, but sadly Maple Mountain struggled afterwards.

Meanwhile, Mountain Ridge gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Tuesday. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Lehi, sneaking past 2-1.

Maple Mountain beat Mountain Ridge by a goal in their previous meeting back in August of 2023, winning 2-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Golden Eagles since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
