Soccer Recap: King Takes a Loss

King was not able to break out of their rough patch on Thursday as the team picked up their fourth straight loss. They were a single goal away from ending the streak, but they lost a 1-0 heartbreaker at the hands of the Santiago Sharks. While losing is never fun, Wolves can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 406th, while the Sharks are ranked 129th).

King's defeat dropped their record down to 6-9-4. As for Santiago, their record is now 8-5-3.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. King and Centennial will meet in a dog eat dog contest at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Centennial's last five contests have been decided by no more than a goal, so don't be surprised if it's a close one. As for Santiago, they will square off against Norco at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Santiago's offense has struggled lately (the team hasn't scored more than a single goal for five straight games), a trend the team is no doubt ready to end.
