Soccer Preview: McCutcheon vs. Lebanon

Suggested Video

The McCutcheon Mavericks will head out on the road to take on the Lebanon Tigers at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday. Both are strolling into their contests after big wins in their previous games.

Lebanon is hoping to do what Lafayette Jefferson couldn't on Thursday: put an end to McCutcheon's winning streak, which now stands at five games. McCutcheon's defense stepped up to hand Lafayette Jefferson a 4-0 shutout. Given the Mavericks' advantage in MaxPreps' Indiana soccer rankings (they are ranked 11th, while the Bronchos are ranked 93rd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

McCutcheon hit Lafayette Jefferson with a four-pronged attack, as the team got scores from Ricky Ruiz, Nery Pacheco, and Angel Tovar.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Lebanon). They blew past North Montgomery 12-0 on Wednesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.

McCutcheon pushed their record up to 9-2 with that victory, which was their third straight at home. As for Lebanon, the win got them back to even at 5-5-1.
