The Monterey Plainsmen will challenge the Palo Duro Dons at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Monterey is currently enjoying a perfect season and no doubt wants to keep things rolling.
Last Friday, Monterey narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past Lubbock-Cooper 4-3. Given the Plainsmen's advantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 27th, while the Pirates are ranked 99th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Monterey hit Lubbock-Cooper with a three-pronged attack, as the team got scores from JT Tuttle (2), Frankie Diaz, and Miguel Robledo.
Meanwhile, Palo Duro hasn't lost a match since January 27th, a trend which continued in their latest game on Friday. They came out on top against Tascosa by a score of 3-1. That's two games straight that the Dons have won by exactly two goals.
Palo Duro has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-4-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 20 goals over those five contests. Monterey's victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 17-0-2.
