The Novato Hornets will venture away from home to take on the Ukiah Wildcats at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Novato's offense has struggled lately (the team hasn't scored more than a single goal for five straight games), a trend the team is no doubt ready to end.
Novato fell victim to Terra Linda and their airtight defense last Friday. They came up short against the Trojans, falling 6-0. While losing is never fun, the Hornets can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 931st, while the Trojans are ranked 268th).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Ukiah). They never let Kelseyville onto the board and left with a 6-0 win on Saturday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Novato's defeat dropped their record down to 0-5. As for Ukiah, they now have a winning record of 3-2-1.
Novato might still be hurting after the 5-1 loss they got from Ukiah when the teams last played back in November of 2022. That matchup was all but decided by halftime, at which point Novato was down 4-0.
