The St. Pius X Panthers will face off against the Savio Eagles at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
St. Pius X's defense heads into the contest hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Tuesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 1-0 win over St. Thomas Catholic. Noah Williams had the honor of scoring the game-winner for the Panthers.
Meanwhile, Savio fell victim to St. Michael's and their airtight defense on Friday. They fell just short of the Warriors by a score of 1-0. While losing is never fun, the Eagles can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 265th, while the Warriors are ranked 128th).
This is the second loss in a row for Savio and nudges their season record down to 8-7. As for St. Pius X, they are on a roll lately: they've won 12 of their last 14 matches. That somehow still isn't as good as their 21-2 record this season.
