The Valley Tigers will square off against the Lone Tree Lions on Wednesday. Valley's defense has only allowed 0.4 goals per game this season, so Lone Tree's offense will have their work cut out for them.
Valley is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Iowa's top teams: Waukee, who was ranked seventh at the time (Valley was ranked second). The two teams finished up on equal footing with a 2-2 draw last Friday. The result kept Valley happy, as they haven't lost a game since April 22nd.
Meanwhile, Lone Tree came tearing into Friday's game with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 4.3 goals), and they left with even more momentum. They never let the Bulldogs get on the board and left with a 3-0 win. Three seems to be a good number for Lone Tree as the team scooped up a victory with the same number of goals in their previous game.
Lone Tree's win was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 6-8-3. The home victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only given up two goals over those five matches. Valley's draw gives them a new season record of 15-2-3.
