Soccer Game Preview: Mandarin vs. Beachside

The Mandarin Mustangs will square off against the Beachside Barracudas at 7:20 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

On Tuesday, Mandarin made easy work of Fletcher and carried off a 5-2 victory. With Mandarin ahead 4-0 at the half, the contest was all but over already.

Meanwhile, Beachside had to kick off their season on the road on Monday, but they showed no ill effects. They came out on top against Atlantic Coast by a score of 3-1.

Mandarin took their win against Beachside in their previous matchup back in December of 2024 by a conclusive 5-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Mustangs since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
