Soccer Game Preview: Mountain View vs. Summit

The Mountain View Cougars are taking a road trip to challenge the Summit Storm at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Summit is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 4.1 goals per game this season.

Mountain View is headed into Thursday's game following a draw, the team's first since the 6th. They and Caldera finished up their contest with a 1-1 draw on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Summit put another one in the bag on Tuesday to keep their undefeated season alive. Everything went their way against Redmond/Culver as they made off with an 8-2 victory. Given Summit's advantage in MaxPreps' Oregon soccer rankings (they are ranked 16th, while Redmond/Culver are ranked 98th), the win wasn't entirely unexpected.

Summit has now won four of their last five games on the road. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-0-3 record this season. The road wins were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 27 goals over those five matchups. Mountain View's draw gives them a new season record of 6-3-3.
