The Washington Rams are headed away from home for the first time to square off against the Central Bobcats at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.
Washington is leaving town to face Central after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Washington fell just short of Paradise Valley by a score of 4-3 on Tuesday. The matchup was a 2-2 toss-up at halftime, but the Rams couldn't quite close it out.
Sherlyn Benitez Gutierrez and Itzel De La Cruz Perez scored all three of Washington's goals, which were season-firsts for both players.
Meanwhile, Central didn't have quite enough to beat La Joya Community on Tuesday and fell 3-2. One reason for the loss might be the Bobcats' aggressive play style: Alexa Bojorquez and Ejnae Johnson were both handed yellow cards.
Washington took their win against Central when the teams last played back in December of 2023 by a conclusive 5-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for Washington since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
