Meanwhile, Heritage fell victim to Menchville and their airtight defense on Tuesday. They came up short against the Monarchs, falling 17-0. While losing is never fun, Heritage can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Virginia soccer rankings (they are ranked 326th, while Menchville are ranked 39th).

With that draw, Phoebus' record moves to 6-4-4. As for Heritage, their defeat dropped their record down to 0-15.

Phoebus got the 'W' when the teams last played back in April against Heritage by a conclusive 8-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Phantoms since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
