The home team had come away the winner the last five times Clarence and Orchard Park had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Red Devils came out on top against the Quakers by a score of 5-3 on Tuesday. Given Clarence's advantage in MaxPreps' New York soccer rankings (they are ranked fifth, while Orchard Park are ranked 205th) , the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Clarence's win bumped their record up to 12-1. As for Sweet Home, their victory (their first of the season) made their record 1-7.
Everything went Clarence's way against Sweet Home in their previous matchup back in October of 2024, as Clarence made off with a 4-0 win.
