Soccer Preview: Cypress Bay vs. Goleman
The Cypress Bay Lightning will take on the Goleman Gators at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Cypress Bay's defense has only allowed 0.3 goals per game this season, so Goleman's offense will have their work cut out for them.

Given the Lightning's advantage in MaxPreps' Florida soccer rankings (they are ranked 12th, while the Chiefs are ranked 105th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Goleman).

Goleman has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 4-2 record this season. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 27 goals over those four matches. As for Cypress Bay, the win made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 5-1.
Cypress Bay took their victory against Goleman in their previous meeting back in November of 2023 by a conclusive 6-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for Cypress Bay since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
