The Memorial Mustangs will head out on the road to challenge the Cy-Fair Bobcats at 7:15 p.m. on Friday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Last Tuesday, Memorial made easy work of Cypress Ridge and carried off a 5-1 victory. Given the Mustangs' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 140th, while the Rams are ranked 380th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Cy-Fair had already won four in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 2.8 goals) and they went ahead and made it five on Tuesday. Everything went their way against the Falcons as they made off with a 5-1 win. The high-flying offensive performance was a huge turnaround for the Bobcats considering their one-goal performance the matchup before.
Memorial pushed their record up to 10-5 with the victory, which was their fifth straight at home. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 29 goals over those five contests. As for Cy-Fair, their win bumped their record up to 8-6.
Memorial beat Cy-Fair 3-1 in their previous meeting back in January. The rematch might be a little tougher for Memorial since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
