Soccer Game Preview: North vs. East Bakersfield

North hasn't had much luck against East Bakersfield recently, but that could start to change on Friday. The North Stars will head out to take on the East Bakersfield Blades at 6:00 p.m. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.

North is headed into Friday's match looking for a big change in momentum after dropping their 13th straight game on Wednesday. They came up short against Tehachapi, falling 11-0.

Meanwhile, for the first time since back in December of 2024, East Bakersfield was forced to settle for a draw on Wednesday. They and South finished up on equal footing with a 0-0 draw.

North's loss dropped their record down to 1-13. East Bakersfield's draw makes their record 4-11-3 this season.

North might still be hurting after the 4-1 defeat they got from East Bakersfield in their previous meeting on January 15th. Can North avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
