Meanwhile, Boerne-Champion has not lost a match since February 6th, a trend which continued in their latest game on Friday. Neither they nor Canyon could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 1-1 draw.
Pieper's win was their tenth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 17-3. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 49 goals over those ten games. With that draw, Boerne-Champion's record moves to 10-2-3.
Pieper beat Boerne-Champion 2-0 in their previous meeting on February 6th. The rematch might be a little tougher for Pieper since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
