The Hillcrest Trojans will challenge the Lakeside Lancers at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. Hillcrest is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 3.6 goals per game this season.
Hillcrest is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering Canyon Springs just ended the team's four-game winning streak on Friday. They and the Cougars finished up their contest with a 2-2 draw. The result kept the Trojans happy, as they haven't lost a game since January 7th.
Angel Bravo and Ala'A Manasra scored both of Hillcrest's goals, bringing their combined season tally to 13 goals.
Meanwhile, Lakeside had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 2.3 goals) and they went ahead and made it four on Saturday. They never let the Cougars onto the board and left with a 3-0 victory. Considering the Lancers have won five games by more than two goals this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.
Lakeside has also been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six matches, which provided a nice bump to their 9-5-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 23 goals over those six contests. With that draw, Hillcrest's record moves to 9-6-5.
Everything went Hillcrest's way against Lakeside in their previous matchup back in January, as Hillcrest made off with a 5-2 win. Will Hillcrest repeat their success, or does Lakeside have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
