The Corcoran Panthers are taking a road trip to square off against the McLane Highlanders at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Having struggled with seven losses in a row, Corcoran turned things around against Farmersville on Tuesday. Neither they nor the Aztecs could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 2-2 draw. The result was nothing new for the Panthers as the team has yet to pick up a win this season.
Meanwhile, McLane had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 5 goals) and they went ahead and made it three on Tuesday. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the Mustangs, sneaking past 2-1. The score was all tied up 1-1 at the break, but the Highlanders were the better team in the second half.
Celeste Thahane and Ashlee Salinas scored both of McLane's goals, bringing their combined season tally to 24 goals.
McLane pushed their record up to 7-3 with the win, which was their third straight at home. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 12 goals over those three games. Corcoran's draw gives them a new season record of 0-7-1.
Corcoran might still be hurting after the 5-2 defeat they got from McLane when the teams last played back in November of 2023. Can Corcoran avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
