Leigh is 8-0-2 against Branham since January of 2018, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Wednesday. The Leigh Longhorns will head out on the road to take on the Branham Bruins at 6:45 p.m. Leigh will be coming into the matchup with an undefeated record on the line.
In what's become a running theme this season, Leigh gave their fans yet another huge victory on Friday. They were the clear victor by a 5-0 margin over Lincoln. Given Leigh's advantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 11th, while Lincoln is ranked 446th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Leigh hit Lincoln with a three-pronged attack, as the team got scores from
Piper Bertani (2),
Maggie Currie (2), and
Jessica Halkett.
Meanwhile, for the first time since back in November of 2023, Branham was forced to settle for a draw on Friday. They and Pioneer finished up their contest with a 1-1 draw.
Leigh's win bumped their record up to 16-0-1. With that draw, Branham's record moves to 8-9-2.
Leigh skirted past Branham 2-1 in their previous matchup back in January. The rematch might be a little tougher for Leigh since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
