Servite has gone 9-0-1 against St. John Bosco recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Wednesday. The Servite Friars are taking a road trip to challenge the St. John Bosco Braves at 3:15 p.m. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.

Servite is likely headed into the game with a focus on the second half, which is when things went downhill against Mater Dei on Friday. Servite lost 4-1 to Mater Dei. While losing is never fun, the Friars can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 29th, while the Monarchs are ranked second).

Meanwhile, St. John Bosco has been on a difficult stretch since their win on December 10. They and Santa Margarita finished up their matchup with a 0-0 draw on Friday. The victory was a breath of fresh air for the Braves as it put an end to their five-game losing streak.

St. John Bosco's draw makes their record 3-10-7 this season. As for Servite, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 8-5-4.

Everything went Servite's way against St. John Bosco in their previous matchup on January 10th, as Servite made off with a 3-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Servite since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
