We've got a battle between Mustangs coming up. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as Mitchell comes in on four and Lakewood Ranch on five.
Mitchell is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Friday. They never let Immokalee onto the board and left with a 3-0 win. Considering the Mustangs have won 16 matches by more than two goals this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Meanwhile, it was close, but on Friday Lakewood Ranch sidestepped Parrish Community for a 1-0 victory. Given the Mustangs' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida soccer rankings (they are ranked 19th, while the Bulls are ranked 72nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Lakewood Ranch's one-goal win came courtesy of Broden Beorlegui, who's now up to 30 this season.
Lakewood Ranch pushed their record up to 17-2-2 with the win, which was their tenth straight at home. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 43 goals over those ten games. As for Mitchell, their victory bumped their record up to 19-2-2.
Mitchell came out on top in a nail-biter against Lakewood Ranch in their previous matchup back in January of 2024, sneaking past 4-3. The rematch might be a little tougher for Mitchell since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
