The Waunakee Warriors will head out on the road to square off against the Monona Grove Silver Eagles at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
Waunakee is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering Janesville Craig just ended the team's three-match winning streak on Thursday. They fell just short of the Cougars by a score of 1-0. The loss was a bit of a surprise, as Waunakee came into the match with a sizable advantage in MaxPreps' Wisconsin soccer rankings (they are ranked 48th, while Janesville Craig are ranked 180th).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Monona Grove). They put the hurt on Mount Horeb with a sharp 5-0 victory on Saturday. Considering Monona Grove have won five contests by more than two goals this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.
The win made it two in a row for Monona Grove and bumps their season record up to 10-2-3. The victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only given up zero goals over those two matchups. As for Waunakee, their defeat dropped their record down to 7-6.
Waunakee beat Monona Grove by a goal in their previous meeting back in September of 2024, winning 1-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Warriors since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
