After a short break, it's finally time for some more action. The Menendez Falcons are taking a road trip to take on the Matanzas Pirates at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Menendez will be strutting in after a victory while Matanzas will be coming in after a defeat.
Matanzas better have a healthy lead at halftime, because if last week is any indication, that's when Menendez really get things going. Menendez never let Palatka onto the board and left with a 5-0 win two weeks ago. That looming 5-0 mark stands out as the most commanding margin for the Falcons yet this season.
Despite a strong season so far, Matanzas has seen their luck take a bit of a downturn recently. They took a 3-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of New Smyrna Beach two weeks ago. While losing is never fun, the Pirates can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Florida soccer rankings (they are ranked 64th, while the Barracudas are ranked 17th).
Menendez has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matchups, which provided a massive bump to their 5-6-1 record this season. As for Matanzas, their loss dropped their record down to 8-3-1.
