Soccer Preview: Serena vs. Princeton

Suggested Video

Serena has played every game this season on their home pitch, but they'll have to hit the road on Tuesday. They will challenge the Princeton Tigers at 4:30 p.m. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.

Serena's offense might be in the hot seat on Tuesday considering what happened against Ottawa on Saturday. They fell just short of the Pirates by a score of 1-0. While losing is never fun, the Huskers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Illinois soccer rankings (they are ranked 109th, while the Pirates are ranked 21st).

Meanwhile, Princeton's game on Saturday was all tied up 0-0 at the half, but sadly for them it didn't stay that way. They came up short against Richmond-Burton, falling 3-0. The Tigers have struggled against the Rockets recently, as their match on Saturday was their fourth consecutive lost matchup.

Serena now has a losing record at 1-2. As for Princeton, their defeat dropped their record down to 0-2-1.

Serena took their win against Princeton when the teams last played back in August of 2023 by a conclusive 5-2. The rematch might be a little tougher for Serena since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
