The Widefield Gladiators are taking a road trip to challenge the Coronado Cougars at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Both come into the match bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Widefield took a loss when they played away from home two weeks ago, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Wednesday. They never let Palmer get on the board and left with a 2-0 victory. Jayden Lee had the honor of scoring the game-winner for Widefield.
Widefield was without their leading scorer, TK Bromfield, in Wednesday's contest. With Bromfield sitting this one out, Jace McLean got some extra time on the pitch (80 vs. his season average of 46.2).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Coronado). Everything went their way against Canon City on Thursday as they made off with a 4-0 win. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Coronado's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 5-5-1. Those home victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 11 goals over those four matchups. As for Widefield, the win got them back to even at 5-5.
Widefield skirted past Coronado 2-1 in their previous meeting back in October of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Gladiators since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
