The Hampshire Whip-Purs will head out to face off against the Central Rockets at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Hampshire's last four contests have been decided by no more than a goal, so don't be surprised if it's a close one.
On Thursday, Hampshire and Dundee-Crown finished up their matchup with a 1-1 draw.
The Whip-Purs' goal came courtesy of Grayson Hedderich, who's now up to three this season.
Meanwhile, Central fell victim to Bartlett and their airtight defense on Saturday. They lost 5-0 to the Hawks. While losing is never fun, Central can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Illinois soccer rankings (they are ranked 157th, while Bartlett are ranked 49th).
Central has also been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-6-1 record this season. With that draw, Hampshire's record moves to 5-3-3.
Hampshire took their victory against Central in their previous matchup back in October of 2024 by a conclusive 4-1 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Whip-Purs since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
