Soccer Game Preview: Beckman vs. El Toro

The Beckman Patriots will take on the El Toro Chargers at 5:15 p.m. on Friday.

Beckman is headed into Friday's following a draw, the team's first since December 20. Neither they nor Dana Hills could gain the upper hand on Friday so the two teams had to settle for a 0-0 draw.

Meanwhile, El Toro entered their tilt with Trabuco Hills on Wednesday with four consecutive wins but they'll enter their next game with five. Their defense stepped up to hand the Mustangs a 3-0 shutout.

El Toro pushed their record up to 9-5-4 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored eight goals over those three contests. Beckman's draw gives them a new season record of 7-2-3.

Beckman came up short against El Toro in their previous meeting two weeks ago, falling 3-1. Can Beckman avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
