Mountain Ridge is looking to tack another W on to their season record, something they couldn't quite do against Williams Field back in December of 2024. Neither Mountain Ridge nor Williams Field could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 1-1 draw.
Meanwhile, Valley Vista was not able to break out of their rough patch on Wednesday as the team picked up their fifth straight defeat. They lost 8-0 to Boulder Creek.
