Chapel Hill has gone a perfect 10-0 against Hillside recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Monday. The Tigers will challenge the Hornets at 6:45 p.m. Chapel Hill will aim to continue their three-game streak of scoring more goals each contest than the last.

Chapel Hill had to skate by with only a one-goal margin when they last took the pitch, which might have inspired the nine-goal drubbing they dealt Northern Durham on Thursday. The Tigers were the clear victors by a 9-0 margin over the Knights. The final result isn't all the surprising considering Chapel Hill's considerable advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina soccer rankings (they are ranked 154th, while Northern Durham are ranked 393rd).

Meanwhile, Hillside fell victim to East Chapel Hill and their airtight defense on Thursday. They lost 4-0 to the Wildcats.

Chapel Hill is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 6-7-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 32 goals over those six games. As for Hillside, they have been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-8-1 record this season.

Everything went Chapel Hill's way against Hillside in their previous meeting two weeks ago, as Chapel Hill made off with a 9-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Tigers since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
