The Winchester Red & Black are taking a road trip to challenge the Belmont Marauders at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Winchester is headed into the match having not lost since September 17 and will look to keep things rolling. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past Arlington 1-0.
Meanwhile, Belmont lost 4-1 to Lexington on Wednesday. While losing is never fun, Belmont can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Massachusetts soccer rankings (they are ranked 123rd, while Lexington are ranked 25th).
Winchester is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 8-3-4 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only given up one goal over those four matchups. As for Belmont, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 6-6-6.
Winchester was able to grind out a solid victory over Belmont in their previous meeting back in September, winning 2-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Red & Black since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
