The Exeter Monarchs will head out on the road to challenge the Reedley Pirates at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
Having struggled with three losses in a row, Exeter turned things around against Washington Union on Friday. They and the Panthers finished up their matchup with a 1-1 draw. The result (or lack thereof) marked the Monarchs' first draw of the season.
Meanwhile, Reedley kept a clean sheet against Immanuel on Friday. They were the clear victor by a 4-0 margin over the Eagles. Given the Pirates' advantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 71st, while the Eagles are ranked 810th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Reedley has also been performing incredibly well recently as they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 9-3-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 11 goals over those four games. Exeter's draw makes their record 5-6-1 this season.
Exeter came up short against Reedley in their previous matchup back in February of 2024, falling 2-0. Can Exeter avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
