The Emerald Ridge Jaguars will challenge the Rogers Rams at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Emerald Ridge is probably headed into the match with a chip on their shoulder considering Spanaway Lake just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Thursday. Neither they nor the Sentinels could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 0-0 draw. The result (or lack thereof) was the first time Emerald Ridge have been dealt a draw since back in March.
Rogers had taken Olympia down for three straight games at home, but that winning streak came to an end on Thursday. The Rams came up short against the Bears, falling 5-0.

Rogers' defeat dropped their record down to 2-8-1. Emerald Ridge's draw gives them a new season record of 6-2-2.
