The Wawasee Warriors will challenge the NorthWood Panthers at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

Wawasee is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to four goals on Thursday, they were much more limited against Bethany Christian on Saturday. They took a 3-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Bruins. While losing is never fun, the Warriors can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Indiana soccer rankings (they are ranked 247th, while the Bruins are ranked 69th).

Wawasee's goal came courtesy of Beckham Denton, who's now up to two this season.

Meanwhile, NorthWood managed to keep up with South Bend Adams until halftime on Saturday, but things quickly went downhill from there. NorthWood lost 6-2 to South Bend Adams.

NorthWood's lineup was just a bit different on Saturday as Gustavo Dosal got a bit more time on the pitch (67 vs. his season average of 45.2). Dosal made the most of the opportunity, putting up an assist. A few more games like that and he might be seeing even more time going forward.
