The Latin Romans will take on the Ridgewood Rebels in a tournament on Tuesday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Latin has three straight victories, Ridgewood has four straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the pitch.
Latin proved they can win big on Monday (they won by three) and on Tuesday they proved they can win the close ones too. They won by a goal and slipped past Deerfield 3-2. Three seems to be a good number for Latin as the squad scooped up a win with the same number of goals in their previous game.
They hit Deerfield with a three-pronged attack, as the team got scores from Andrew Simpson, Odin Gill, and Wyatt Greenberg.
Meanwhile, while it was all tied up 1-1 at halftime, Ridgewood was not quite Larkin's equal in the second half on Wednesday. They took a 3-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Royals. While losing is never fun, Ridgewood can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Illinois soccer rankings (they are ranked 280th, while Larkin are ranked 112th).
Ridgewood's defeat dropped their record down to 4-13-1. As for Latin, they now have a winning record of 10-9-2.
Latin beat Ridgewood 2-0 when the teams last played back in October of 2017. Do the Romans have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Rebels turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
