The MacArthur Generals will take on the Northbrook Raiders in a tournament on Thursday. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
MacArthur's defense heads into the match hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Saturday. They skirted past Huntsville 1-0.
Meanwhile, for the first time this season, Northbrook was forced to settle for a draw. They and North Shore finished up their matchup with a 1-1 draw on Monday. Northbrook had to tread lightly for part of the contest as Joshwa Mendez and Eric Lopez were both handed yellow cards, which could explain the final result.
Northbrook's goal came courtesy of Ricardo Robledo, who's now up to two this season.
MacArthur's win bumped their record up to 3-0. With that draw, Northbrook's record moves to 2-0-1.
MacArthur came out on top in a nail-biter against Northbrook when the teams last played back in January of 2024, sneaking past 2-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Generals since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
