The Ridge Point Panthers will challenge the Fort Bend Clements Rangers at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday. Both come into the match bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Ridge Point took a loss when they played away from home on Tuesday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Friday. Their defense stepped up to hand Fort Bend Bush a 3-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Panthers, who have now won six contests by three goals or more so far this season.
Meanwhile, Fort Bend Clements won against Fort Bend Austin on Friday with two goals and they decided to stick to that goal total again on Monday. Fort Bend Clements walked away with a 2-0 win over Fort Bend Hightower. Given the Rangers' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 292nd, while the Hurricanes are ranked 696th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Ridge Point has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won nine of their last 11 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-3 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only given up five goals over those 11 matches. Fort Bend Clements pushed their record up to 9-4 with the victory, which was their third straight at home.
