Soccer Game Preview: Westlake vs. Lovejoy

The Westlake Chaparrals will square off against the Lovejoy Leopards at 4:20 p.m. on Friday.

Westlake had to start their season on the road on Thursday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They fell 3-1 to Walnut Grove. Cooper Zavodny was hit with a yellow card, which may have had some impact on his (and the team's) ability to make aggressive plays.

Westlake's goal came courtesy of Dylan Holm.

Meanwhile, Lovejoy gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Thursday. They skirted past Kingwood Park 2-1.
