Soccer Game Preview: Early College vs. Gates Chili

The Early College Sharks will head out to take on the Gates Chili Spartans at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.

Early College can't be too happy about their upcoming road matchup considering what happened when they opened their season away from home back in September. They fell just short of McQuaid Jesuit by a score of 1-0. The loss continues a trend for Early College in their meetings with McQuaid Jesuit: they've now lost three in a row.

Meanwhile, Tuesday just wasn't the day for Gates Chili's offense. They came up short against Churchville-Chili on Tuesday, falling 8-0. While losing is never fun, Gates Chili can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' New York soccer rankings (they are ranked 235th, while Churchville-Chili are ranked 19th).
