The Dawson Eagles will challenge the Pearland Oilers at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. Both teams are coming into the contest red-hot, with Dawson sitting on nine straight wins and Pearland on four.
Dawson proved they can win big on Friday (they won by four) and on Wednesday they proved they can win the close ones too. They never let Shadow Creek get on the board and left with a 1-0 victory. Given Dawson's advantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 153rd, while Shadow Creek are ranked 423rd) , the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Pearland got the win against Manvel on Wednesday by a conclusive 7-1. The result was nothing new for Pearland, who have now won seven matches by four goals or more so far this season.
Their offense was hitting Manvel from everywhere, as five different players booted in a goal. Jaelyn Rodriguez led that balanced group of strikers and accounted for two goals all by herself.
Pearland's win bumped their record up to 10-5-1. As for Dawson, their victory bumped their record up to 12-5-1.
Dawson was able to grind out a solid win over Pearland in their previous meeting back in January, winning 2-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Eagles since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
