Maumee came out on top in a nail-biter against Wauseon on Saturday, sneaking past 2-1. Given the Panthers' advantage in MaxPreps' Ohio soccer rankings (they are ranked 47th, while the Indians are ranked 142nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Maumee took their win against Lake in their previous matchup back in October of 2023 by a conclusive 4-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for Maumee since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
