The Mountain Vista Golden Eagles are taking a road trip to challenge the Fossil Ridge SaberCats at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Mountain Vista is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Colorado's top teams: Castle View, who was ranked sixth at the time (Mountain Vista was ranked fifth). Neither the Golden Eagles nor the Sabercats could gain the upper hand on Thursday so the two teams had to settle for a 0-0 draw. The result kept Mountain Vista happy, as they haven't lost a game since March 25th.
Meanwhile, Fossil Ridge put another one in the bag on Thursday to keep their undefeated season alive. They were the clear victors by a 10-0 margin over Greeley West. Fossil Ridge's defense has been rock solid lately; the team hasn't given up a goal in their last three matchups.
Their offense was hitting Greeley West from everywhere, as eight different players booted in a goal. Reese Morgan led that balanced group of strikers and accounted for two goals all by herself.
Fossil Ridge pushed their record up to 6-0-4 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 13 goals over those three contests. Mountain Vista's draw makes their record 8-1-1 this season.
Mountain Vista was able to grind out a solid victory over Fossil Ridge in their previous matchup back in May of 2016, winning 4-2. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Golden Eagles since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
