Given the Hawks' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida soccer rankings (they are ranked 16th, while the Eagles are ranked 171st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Viera pushed their record up to 6-0-1 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. Those good results were due in large part to their defensive effort, having only given up one goal over those four matches. As for Edgewater, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 2-3-1 record this season.

Melbourne will roll in looking for their eighth straight win, something Viera surely won't give up without a fight.
