The Waipahu Marauders will take on the Pearl City Chargers in a holiday battle at at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
Waipahu is probably headed into the match with a chip on their shoulder considering Mililani just ended the team's four-game winning streak on Friday. They came up short against the Trojans, falling 3-0. Having soared to a lofty ten goals in the game before, the Marauders' shutout was a dramatic turnaround.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Pearl City). They never let Nanakuli onto the board and left with an 11-0 victory on Friday. The result was nothing new for the Chargers, who have now won four games by eight goals or more so far this season.
Pearl City is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 4-2-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks to their defensive effort, having only given up one goal over those four matchups. As for Waipahu, their loss dropped their record down to 4-3.
Waipahu came out on top in a nail-biter against Pearl City in their previous matchup back in December of 2023, sneaking past 1-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for Waipahu since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
