The Chaska Hawks will head out on the road to square off against the Orono Spartans at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
The home team had won the previous four meetings between Chaska and St. Louis Park, and St. Louis Park kept the tradition alive. The Hawks fell just short of the Orioles by a score of 2-1 on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Orono fell victim to Minneapolis Southwest and their airtight defense on Saturday. They came up short against the Lakers, falling 4-0. While losing is never fun, Orono can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Minnesota soccer rankings (they are ranked 63rd, while Minneapolis Southwest are ranked 20th).
Orono dropped their record down to 3-5-1 with the defeat, which was their fourth straight at home. As for Chaska, their loss dropped their record down to 1-5-3.
Chaska skirted past Orono 2-1 when the teams last played back in October of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Hawks since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
