Apollo is 1-7 against Independence since January of 2016 but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Monday. The Apollo Hawks will look to defend their home pitch against the Independence Patriots at 7:00 p.m. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Having struggled with five losses in a row, Apollo turned things around against Carl Hayden Community on Friday. Neither they nor the Falcons could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 0-0 draw. The result (or lack thereof) marked the Hawks' first draw of the season.
Meanwhile, Independence hasn't lost a match since December 4, 2024, a trend which continued in their latest game two weeks ago. They played to a draw too, finishing 0-0 against Valley Vista. The Patriots' defeat signaled the end of their six-game winning streak.
Independence's draw gives them a new season record of 7-2-1. Meanwhile, Apollo's record is now 1-6-1.
Apollo might still be hurting after the 8-0 loss they got from Independence in their previous meeting two weeks ago. Will Apollo have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more soccer content.
