Massaponax took a loss when they played away from home on Friday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Tuesday.

Given Massaponax's advantage in MaxPreps' Virginia soccer rankings (they are ranked eighth, while Colonial Forge are ranked 75th) , the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Brooke Point). They blew past Stafford 6-1 on Wednesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Massaponax's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 10-1-1. The home wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 11 goals over those four contests. As for Brooke Point, their record is now 3-4-3.
Massaponax was able to grind out a solid victory over Brooke Point in their previous meeting back in April, winning 3-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Panthers since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
