The Hemet Bulldogs are taking a road trip to take on the Perris Panthers at 5:30 p.m. on Monday. Hemet will be strutting in after a win while Perris will be coming in after a loss.
Hemet barely beat JW North the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Bulldogs put the hurt on the Huskies with a sharp 5-0 victory on Friday. The high-scoring performance was a welcome turnaround for Hemet's offense, which had struggled in the games prior.
They hit JW North with a four-pronged attack, as the team got scores from Oliver Gonzalez (2), Oscar Reyes, Gael Sanchez, and Jaiden Conchas.
Meanwhile, Perris came up short against Hillcrest on Wednesday, falling 8-1. While losing is never fun, Perris can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 883rd, while Hillcrest are ranked 159th).
Perris has also traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-11 record this season. As for Hemet, their win bumped their record up to 9-6-5.
Hemet skirted past Perris 3-2 in their previous meeting back in January. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bulldogs since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
