The Palo Duro Dons will head out on the road to take on the Monterey Plainsmen at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Palo Duro is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 2.6 goals per game this season.

Palo Duro is headed into the contest having not lost since January 27 and will look to keep things rolling. They came out on top against Tascosa by a score of 3-1 on Friday. That's two games straight that the Dons have won by exactly two goals.

They hit Tascosa with a three-pronged attack, as the team got scores from Gael Garay, Merci Murama, and Angel Macias.

Meanwhile, Monterey put another one in the bag on Friday to keep their undefeated season alive. They came within a single goal of losing the streak, but they secured a 4-3 W against Lubbock-Cooper. Given the Plainsmen's advantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 27th, while the Pirates are ranked 99th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Palo Duro has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won four of their last five matchups. That's provided a massive bump to their 11-4-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 20 goals over those five games. Monterey's victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 17-0-2.
