The Carter Lions will challenge the Rialto Knights at 5:45 p.m. on Wednesday. Carter is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 3.1 goals per game this season.
If Rialto heads into halftime all tied up, they better play a good second half: that's when Carter took over last week. Carter walked away with a 3-1 win over Colton on Friday. Given the Lions' advantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 250th, while the Yellowjackets are ranked 529th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Rialto, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Friday. Their defense stepped up to hand Bloomington a 4-0 shutout on Monday. The Knights might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matchups by three goals or more this season.
Rialto pushed their record up to 8-3 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 18 goals over those four games.
