The Orange Vista Coyotes and the Hemet Bulldogs will meet in a canine-themed contest at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Orange Vista's offense has struggled lately (the team hasn't scored more than a single goal for nine straight games), a trend the team is no doubt ready to end.
Having struggled with seven losses in a row, Orange Vista turned things around against Rancho Verde on Tuesday. Neither they nor the Mustangs could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 0-0 draw. The result (or lack thereof) was the first time the Coyotes have been dealt a draw since back in November of 2024.
Meanwhile, Hemet was not able to break out of their rough patch on Tuesday as the team picked up their third straight defeat. They were one goals away from ending the streak, but they lost a 3-2 heartbreaker at the hands of JW North. While losing is never fun, the Bulldogs can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 868th, while the Huskies are ranked 423rd).
Orange Vista's draw makes their record 2-7-2 this season. As for Hemet, their loss dropped their record down to 2-10.
Orange Vista was able to grind out a solid win over Hemet when the teams last played back in March of 2021, winning 3-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for Orange Vista since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
