Esperanza and Troy are an even 2-2-2 against one another since December of 2014, but likely not for long. The Esperanza Aztecs will venture away from home to square off against the Troy Warriors at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Last Wednesday, Esperanza didn't have quite enough to beat Crean Lutheran and fell 2-1. One reason for the loss might be the Aztecs' aggressive play style: Bryan Catalan and Jordan Sicard were both handed yellow cards.
Esperanza's goal came courtesy of Travis Rivera, who's now up to eight this season.
Meanwhile, for the first time since back in December of 2024, Troy was forced to settle for a draw on Friday. Neither they nor Crean Lutheran could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 1-1 draw.
Esperanza has traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 5-6-3 record this season. Troy's draw gives them a new season record of 8-3-4.
Esperanza came up short against Troy in their previous matchup back in December of 2023, falling 2-0. Can Esperanza avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
