The Newsome Wolves will face off against the Plant Panthers at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Plant is hoping to do what East Lake couldn't back in December of 2024: put an end to Newsome's winning streak, which now stands at three games. While the 0-0 score might suggest a draw, it was Newsome who was credited with the win. Newsome got it done in the shootout by posting four goals to East Lake's three.
On Saturday, Plant didn't have quite enough to beat Mariner and fell 2-1. While losing is never fun, the Panthers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Florida soccer rankings (they are ranked 125th, while the Tritons are ranked 19th).
Newsome is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 11-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 49 goals over those nine games. As for Plant, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 6-6-1.
Newsome took their victory against Plant in their previous meeting back in January of 2024 by a conclusive 7-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for Newsome since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
