The Moline Maroons will head out on the road to square off against the Pekin Dragons at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. Moline is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 2.8 goals per game this season.
Pekin better have a healthy lead at halftime, because if Moline's game on Tuesday is any indication, that's when Moline really gets things going. The Maroons were the clear victors by a 3-0 margin over Rock Island. Given Moline's advantage in MaxPreps' Illinois soccer rankings (they are ranked 90th, while Rock Island are ranked 272nd) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
Moline hit Rock Island with a three-pronged attack, as the team got scores from Aubree Medinger, Keeley Mckenzie, and Natalie Acosta.
Meanwhile, after soaring to seven goals the game before, Pekin was a bit more limited in their contest on Tuesday. They came up short against Morton, falling 9-0. Pekin haven't had much luck with Morton recently, as the team has come up short the last six times they've met.
Pekin's defeat dropped their record down to 5-4-1. As for Moline, their victory bumped their record up to 5-2-3.
Moline came out on top in a nail-biter against Pekin in their previous matchup back in April of 2025, sneaking past 2-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Maroons since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
