The Graham Steers will head out on the road to challenge the Burkburnett Bulldogs at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.
While the 5-5 score might suggest a draw, it was Bridgeport who was credited with the win on Friday. Bridgeport got it done in the shootout by posting five goals to Graham's four. The Steers have struggled against the Bulls recently, as the game was their sixth consecutive lost matchup.
Monday just wasn't the day for Burkburnett's offense. They lost 5-0 to Decatur on Monday. While losing is never fun, the Bulldogs can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 694th, while the Eagles are ranked 89th).
Burkburnett has also traveled a rocky road recently having lost six of their last eight contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-11 record this season. Graham's defeat dropped their record down to 10-4.
Graham took their victory against Burkburnett when the teams last played two weeks ago by a conclusive 5-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for Graham since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
