The Hersey Huskies will venture away from home to take on the Fremd Vikings at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Both come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Hersey is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Saturday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 2-1 win over Glenbrook North. The home team had taken home the W every time these teams have met since April 8, 2023, but that streak is no more.
Gracie Lisota was the driving force of Hersey's attack as she scored both of Hersey's goals, bringing her season total up to 23 goals.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Fremd). Everything went their way against Rolling Meadows on Friday as they made off with a 9-0 victory. The final result isn't all the surprising considering Fremd's considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Illinois soccer rankings (they are ranked 50th, while Rolling Meadows are ranked 141st).
Hersey pushed their record up to 13-7-2 with the win, which was their fourth straight on the road. The road victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only given up one goal over those four contests. As for Fremd, the win made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 12-5-4.
Hersey came out on top in a nail-biter against Fremd in their previous meeting on May 3rd, sneaking past 1-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Huskies since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
