Soccer Preview: Coronado vs. Palo Verde
The Coronado Cougars are taking a road trip to challenge the Palo Verde Panthers at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. Coronado is looking to tack on another W to their four-game streak on the road.
Coronado is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Nevada's top teams: Liberty, who was ranked third in their home state at the time (Coronado was ranked first). Coronado walked away with a 4-2 win over Liberty on Thursday. The high-flying offensive performance was a huge turnaround for the Cougars considering their one-goal performance the contest before.
They hit Liberty with a three-pronged attack, as the team got scores from
Ryan Neel (2),
Asia Moises, and
Abby Obregon.
Meanwhile, for the first time this season, Palo Verde was forced to settle for a draw. Neither they nor Cimarron-Memorial could gain the upper hand on Thursday so the two teams had to settle for a 2-2 draw.
Coronado's victory bumped their record up to 10-1. With that draw, Palo Verde's record moves to 3-4-1.
Everything went Coronado's way against Palo Verde in their previous meeting back in August as Coronado made off with a 5-2 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Coronado since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
