After three games on the road, Jacobs is heading back home. They will host the South Elgin Storm at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Last Tuesday, Jacobs didn't have quite enough to beat Wauconda and fell 2-1. While losing is never fun, the Golden Eagles can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Illinois soccer rankings (they are ranked 306th, while the Bulldogs are ranked 118th).
Meanwhile, for the first time this season, South Elgin was forced to settle for a draw. They and Aurora East finished up on equal footing with a 2-2 draw on Tuesday. Both teams had to tread carefully at times as the refs weren't afraid to hand out yellow cards: Justin Martinez was handed one for the Storm, while the Tomcats got theirs courtesy of Carlos Fabela.
Adam Kiel and
Jahson Leon scored both of South Elgin's goals, which were season-firsts for both players.
Jacobs' loss dropped their record down to 2-4-1. South Elgin's draw makes their record 2-4-1 this season.
