Soccer Game Preview: Young Women's Leadership Academy vs. Southwest

The Young Women's Leadership Academy Lady Owls are taking a road trip to challenge the Southwest Raiders at 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Young Women's Leadership Academy has given up an average of 5.2 goals per game this season, so hopefully the team got some defensive drills in this week.

Young Women's Leadership Academy fell victim to Benbrook and their airtight defense on Friday. They came up short against the Bobcats, falling 9-0. While losing is never fun, the Lady Owls can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 782nd, while the Bobcats are ranked 311th).

Meanwhile, Southwest entered their tilt with Diamond Hill-Jarvis on Friday with two consecutive wins , and they'll enter their next game with three. Their defense stepped up to hand the Eagles a 2-0 shutout. Give the Raiders' defense some credit: that's the team's third straight shutout.

Young Women's Leadership Academy has been struggling recently as they've lost eight of their last nine games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-10 record this season. Southwest now has a winning record of 10-9.

Young Women's Leadership Academy might still be hurting after the 9-1 defeat they got from Southwest in their previous meeting back in February. That contest was all but decided by halftime, at which point Young Women's Leadership Academy was down 4-1.
