The Southwest Raiders will square off against the Lake Dallas Falcons at 1:00 p.m. on Friday.
Southwest fell victim to Lamar and their airtight defense on Monday. They came up short against the Vikings, falling 3-0. While losing is never fun, the Raiders can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 506th, while the Vikings are ranked 99th).
Meanwhile, Lake Dallas kept a clean sheet against Collegiate Academy at TCC Northeast two weeks ago. They were the clear victor by a 4-0 margin over the Phoenix. Considering the Falcons have won eight matches by more than three goals this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Lake Dallas has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-4-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only given up two goals over those six contests. Southwest's defeat dropped their record down to 13-9-2.
