Soccer Preview: Willow Spring vs. Clayton

Suggested Video

Willow Spring has been away from home for two games now, but on Wednesday they'll finally make their return. They will welcome the Clayton Comets at 6:30 p.m. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.

Willow Spring's offense might be in the hot seat on Wednesday considering what happened against Apex on Friday. They fell just short of the Cougars by a score of 1-0.

Meanwhile, Clayton entered their tilt with Cleveland on Monday with six consecutive wins but they'll enter their next game with seven. Their defense stepped up to hand the Rams a 1-0 shutout. Given the Comets' advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina soccer rankings (they are ranked 30th, while the Rams are ranked 308th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Clayton's one-goal win came courtesy of Christopher Serrano, who's now up to 22 this season.

Willow Spring's loss dropped their record down to 5-9-1. As for Clayton, they pushed their record up to 12-1-1 with the victory, which was their fifth straight at home.
