The Goleman Gators are taking a road trip to face off against the American Patriots at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
Goleman is probably headed into the match with a chip on their shoulder considering MAST Academy just ended the team's four-game winning streak on Monday. They lost 6-0 to the Makos. While losing is never fun, the Gators can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Florida soccer rankings (they are ranked 311th, while the Makos are ranked 33rd).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask American). They blew past Hialeah Gardens 4-0 on Thursday. The team's explosion on offense also rewarded the Patriots with their most commanding win of the season.
Goleman's defeat dropped their record down to 5-5-2. As for American, the win got them back to even at 3-3-2.
Goleman came out on top in a nail-biter against American when the teams last played back in December of 2023, sneaking past 3-2. The rematch might be a little tougher for Goleman since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
