Skyline hasn't had much luck against Mesa recently, but that could start to change on Thursday. The Skyline Coyotes will head out on the road to face off against the Mesa Jackrabbits at 6:00 p.m.
Having struggled with six losses in a row, Skyline turned things around against Chandler on Friday. The two teams finished up on equal footing with a 1-1 draw. The result (or lack thereof) marked the Coyotes' first draw of the season.
Meanwhile, Mesa hasn't lost a match since December 27, 2024, a trend which continued in their latest game on Tuesday. They walked away with a 3-1 win over Westwood. Given the Jackrabbits' advantage in MaxPreps' Arizona soccer rankings (they are ranked fourth, while the Warriors are ranked 56th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Mesa has also been performing incredibly well recently as they've won four of their last five games, which provided a nice bump to their 11-4-1 record this season. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 14 goals over those five contests. Skyline's draw makes their record 2-9-1 this season.
Skyline might still be hurting after the 10-0 defeat they got from Mesa when the teams last played back in January of 2024. Can Skyline avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
