St. Mary has gone 10-0 against West recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Friday. The St. Mary's Rams are taking a road trip to square off against the West Wolfpack at 7:00 p.m. St. Mary's will be looking to extend their current three-game winning streak.

If West heads into halftime all tied up, they better play a good second half: that's when St. Mary's took over last week. St. Mary's beat Lodi by a goal, winning 1-0. Given the Rams' advantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 72nd, while the Flames are ranked 450th), the result on Wednesday wasn't entirely unexpected.

Meanwhile, West has been on a difficult stretch since their win on January 17. Neither they nor Kimball could gain the upper hand on Wednesday so the two teams had to settle for a 0-0 draw. The victory was a breath of fresh air for the Wolfpack as it put an end to their four-game losing streak.

St. Mary's is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 11-2-1 record this season. The wins came thanks to their defensive effort, having only given up two goals over those seven contests. West's draw makes their record 4-11-4 this season.

St. Mary's beat West by a goal in their previous matchup back in January, winning 1-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for St. Mary's since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
