Seward is 9-1 against Crete since April of 2016 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Thursday. The Bluejays will challenge the Cardinals. Seward will be looking to extend their current four-game winning streak.

Seward proved they can win big on Saturday (they won by five) and on Tuesday they proved they can win the close ones too. They narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past Lincoln Lutheran/Raymond Central/Parkview Christian 1-0. Seward's defense has been rock solid lately; the team hasn't given up a goal in their last four matchups.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Crete). They were the clear victors by a 5-1 margin over Madison on Tuesday. The high-scoring effort was just what Crete needed considering they were shut out in their previous contest.

They hit Madison with a four-pronged attack, as the team got scores from Kacey Dunaway (2), Diana Tercero, Kimberli Magana, and Damaris Tercero.

Seward pushed their record up to 4-1 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only given up zero goals over those three games. As for Crete, their victory bumped their record up to 3-1.

Seward beat Crete 2-0 in their previous meeting back in March of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bluejays since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
