The Steele Knights will venture away from home to face off against the La Vernia Bears at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
Steele is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to eight goals on Friday, they were much more limited against San Angelo Central on Saturday. They lost 6-0 to the Bobcats.
Meanwhile, La Vernia came tearing into Friday's matchup with three straight wins and they left with even more momentum. They never let Canyon Lake onto the board and left with a 2-0 win. Given the Bears' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 46th, while Canyon Lake are ranked 137th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Steele has also traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 2-4-1 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 11 goals over those four games. As for La Vernia, their victory bumped their record up to 7-1.
Steele took their win against La Vernia when the teams last played back in January of 2024 by a conclusive 5-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for Steele since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
