The ThunderRidge Grizzlies are taking a road trip to take on the Legend Titans at 3:00 p.m. on Friday. ThunderRidge's last four matches have been decided by no more than a goal, so don't be surprised if it's a close one.
ThunderRidge took a loss when they played away from home two weeks ago, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Tuesday. They never let Mountain Vista onto the board and left with a 1-0 victory. The win was all the more spectacular given the Grizzlies' disadvantage in MaxPreps' Colorado soccer rankings (they are ranked 107th, while the Golden Eagles are ranked 29th).
ThunderRidge's one-goal win came courtesy of
Gavin Dalzell, who's now up to four this season.
Meanwhile, for the first time this season, Legend was forced to settle for a draw. They and Rock Canyon finished up on equal footing with a 1-1 draw on Tuesday. The outcome might've been different if Everett Pemberton hadn't been hit with a yellow card, which no doubt limited his ability to make aggressive plays down the stretch.
The victory snapped ThunderRidge's losing streak at three games and leaves them with a 4-8-2 record. Legend's draw makes their record 6-7-1 this season.
ThunderRidge came up short against Legend in their previous meeting back in October of 2023, falling 2-0. Can ThunderRidge avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
