The Westfield Bulldogs will face off against the James Madison Warhawks at 7:15 p.m. on Friday. Westfield's offense has struggled lately (the team hasn't scored more than a single goal for four straight games), a trend the team is no doubt ready to end.
Westfield is headed into Friday's contest following a draw, the team's first since March 19. Neither they nor West Springfield could gain the upper hand on Wednesday so the two teams had to settle for a 1-1 draw.
Meanwhile, James Madison had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 2.3 goals) and they went ahead and made it four on Tuesday. They came within a single goal of losing the streak, but they secured a 4-3 W against the Cougars. The final result isn't all the surprising considering James Madison's considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Virginia soccer rankings (they are ranked 33rd, while Oakton are ranked 165th).
James Madison's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 7-1-1. The home victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 11 goals over those three games. Westfield's draw makes their record 5-4-2 this season.
Westfield might still be hurting after the 6-2 defeat they got from James Madison in their previous meeting back in May of 2024. Will the Bulldogs have more luck at home instead of on the road? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other soccer content.
