Meanwhile, everything went Memorial's way against Lebanon Trail on Thursday as Memorial made off with a 5-1 win. Given the Warriors' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 47th, while the Trail Blazers are ranked 215th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Memorial is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests, which provided a nice bump to their 10-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 17 goals over those five games. As for Centennial, their victory bumped their record up to 8-1.

Centennial took their win against Memorial in their previous matchup back in January by a conclusive 4-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for Centennial since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
