Soccer Preview: Albuquerque Academy vs. Sandia
The Albuquerque Academy Chargers will head out to take on the Sandia Matadors at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
Albuquerque Academy's defense heads into the match hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Saturday. They were the clear victor by a 5-0 margin over West Mesa. The Chargers' winning goal came courtesy of Grady Gilchrist.
Meanwhile, for the first time this season, Sandia was forced to settle for a draw. Neither they nor Cleveland could gain the upper hand on Saturday so the two teams had to settle for a 2-2 draw. The outcome might've been different if Luke Torgerson hadn't been hit with a yellow card, which no doubt limited his ability to make aggressive plays down the stretch.
The victory got Albuquerque Academy back to even at 1-1. With that draw, Sandia's record moves to 0-1-1.
Albuquerque Academy was able to grind out a solid win over Sandia in their previous meeting back in September of 2023, winning 5-3. Will Albuquerque Academy repeat their success, or does Sandia have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
