The Hart Hawks will head out on the road to challenge the Valencia Vikings at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Hart is coming into the match hot, having won their last nine games.
On Tuesday, Hart made easy work of Canyon and carried off a 4-1 win. Given the Hawks' advantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 15th, while the Cowboys are ranked 832nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Valencia). They never let Quartz Hill onto the board and left with a 4-0 victory on Monday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Valencia hit Quartz Hill with a four-pronged attack, as the team got scores from Ciro Karapetyan, Nicholas Hovsepian, Lukas Kramer, and Andres Alonzo.
Hart's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 9-1. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 12 goals over those three contests. As for Valencia, the win made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 5-3-1.
Hart took their victory against Valencia in their previous matchup back in December of 2024 by a conclusive 3-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for Hart since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
