A feisty cat fight will be fought when the Orosi duke it out with the Woodlake at 6:00 p.m. on Friday... Orosi's offense has struggled lately (the team hasn't scored more than a single goal for six straight games), a trend the team is no doubt ready to end.
Friday just wasn't the day for Orosi's offense. They might have been a little too into the holiday spirit, gifting Sunnyside an easy 3-0 win. While losing is never fun, the Cardinals can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 909th, while the Wildcats are ranked 126th).
Meanwhile, Woodlake had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 3 goals) and they went ahead and made it four two weeks ago. They never let the Panthers onto the board and left with a 3-0 victory. Give the Tigers' defense some credit: that's the team's third straight shutout.
They hit Parlier with a three-pronged attack, as the team got scores from Fernando Bucio, Xavier Benavides, and Izaiah Benavides.
Woodlake pushed their record up to 6-3-2 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 17 goals over those five contests. As for Orosi, their defeat dropped their record down to 1-9-2.
Everything went Orosi's way against Woodlake in their previous meeting back in January, as Orosi made off with a 4-1 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Orosi since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
