The Atlantic Eagles will face off against the Lake Worth Trojans at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Atlantic's last matchup might've seen two goals scored, but the final result was still a bit underwhelming. Neither they nor Palm Beach Gardens could gain the upper hand on Wednesday so the two teams had to settle for a 1-1 draw.
Atlantic's goal came courtesy of Preston Boylston, who's now up to two this season.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Lake Worth, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Thursday. Their defense stepped up to hand Boynton Beach a 1-0 shutout on Tuesday. Given the Trojans' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida soccer rankings (they are ranked 197th, while the Tigers are ranked 535th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Lake Worth pushed their record up to 9-3 with the victory, which was their seventh straight at home. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 25 goals over those seven contests. Atlantic's draw gives them a new season record of 6-8-4.
Atlantic skirted past Lake Worth 3-2 in their previous matchup back in January of 2023. Will Atlantic repeat their success, or does Lake Worth have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
