The Southwest Raiders will face off against the Lamar Vikings at 12:00 p.m. on Monday. Both come into the match bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Last Friday, Southwest was able to grind out a solid win over Western Hills, taking the game 3-1. That's two games straight that the Raiders have won by exactly two goals.
Meanwhile, Lamar hasn't lost a match since January 24th, a trend which continued in their latest game on Tuesday. They walked away with a 3-1 victory over Grand Prairie. Given the Vikings' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 112th, while the Gophers are ranked 424th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Southwest is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-8-2 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 35 goals over those nine games. Lamar's win bumped their record up to 8-1-7.
