The Alexander Spartans are taking a road trip to take on the Wellston Golden Rockets at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. Alexander will come in still looking for their first win of the season.
Alexander's offense might be in the hot seat on Thursday considering what happened against Warren on Tuesday. They lost 5-0 to the Warriors. While losing is never fun, the Spartans can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Ohio soccer rankings (they are ranked 421st, while the Warriors are ranked 41st).
Meanwhile, for the first time this season, Wellston was forced to settle for a draw. They and Western finished up their matchup with a 3-3 draw on Tuesday.
Alexander's defeat dropped their record down to 0-8-2. Wellston's draw gives them a new season record of 3-5-1.
Alexander took their win against Wellston in their previous meeting back in October of 2023 by a conclusive 9-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for Alexander since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
