The Basalt Longhorns are taking a road trip to take on the Delta Panthers at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Tuesday just wasn't the day for Basalt's offense. They came up short against Steamboat Springs on Tuesday, falling 5-0. While losing is never fun, Basalt can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Colorado soccer rankings (they are ranked 169th, while Steamboat Springs are ranked 46th).
Meanwhile, after a string of six wins, Delta's good fortune finally ran out on Tuesday. They and Aspen finished up on equal footing with a 0-0 draw. The result kept Delta happy, as they haven't lost a game since April 4th.
Basalt's loss dropped their record down to 4-8-2. Delta's draw gives them a new season record of 9-3-2.
Basalt suffered a grim 5-0 defeat to Delta in their previous meeting back in May of 2025. Can the Longhorns avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
