Soccer Game Preview: Palatine vs. Highland Park

The Palatine Pirates will square off against the Highland Park Giants at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.

The Pirates' goal came courtesy of Ava Millan, which was the first she's scored this season.

Meanwhile, Highland Park was not able to break out of their rough patch on Thursday as the team picked up their third straight defeat. They came up short against Mundelein, falling 4-1.

Highland Park's loss dropped their record down to 0-3. Palatine's draw makes their record 2-0-2 this season.
