Columbia barely beat Fort Bend Willowridge the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around.

Almeta Crawford fell on hard times earlier this season, but after back-to-back victories it seems like their luck might finally be changing.

Columbia is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last 11 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 34 goals over those 11 contests. Almeta Crawford's win bumped their record up to 5-11.
Everything went Columbia's way against Almeta Crawford in their previous meeting back in February, as Columbia made off with a 3-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Columbia since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
