The Willow Spring Storm are taking a road trip to challenge the Fuquay - Varina Bengals at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
Willow Spring is looking to tack another W on to their season record, something they couldn't quite do against Enloe on Tuesday. The two teams finished up on equal footing with a 2-2 draw. Willow Spring had to tread lightly for part of the matchup as Aiden Ward and Sebastian Oyuela-Perez were both handed yellow cards, which could explain the final result.
Ethan O'Brien and Lucas Halfacre scored both of Willow Spring's goals, bringing their combined season tally to five goals.
Meanwhile, while it was all tied up 0-0 at halftime, Fuquay - Varina was not quite Middle Creek's equal in the second half on Tuesday. They fell just short of the Mustangs by a score of 1-0. While losing is never fun, Fuquay - Varina can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina soccer rankings (they are ranked 102nd, while Middle Creek are ranked third).
Fuquay - Varina has also traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-3-1 record this season. With that draw, Willow Spring's record moves to 4-2-1.
Everything went Willow Spring's way against Fuquay - Varina when the teams last played last Tuesday, as Willow Spring made off with a 3-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Storm since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
