The Aurora Central Trojans will be staying on the road on Tuesday to face off against the Skyview Wolverines at 6:30 p.m.
Last Tuesday, Aurora Central came up short against Legacy and fell 3-1. The loss continues a trend for the Trojans in their matchups with the Lightning: they've now lost four in a row.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Skyview). Their defense stepped up to hand Thornton a 7-0 shutout on Thursday. Given the Wolverines' advantage in MaxPreps' Colorado soccer rankings (they are ranked 92nd, while the Trojans are ranked 212th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Skyview's offense was hitting Thornton from everywhere, as five different players booted in a goal.
Jesse Perez led that balanced group of strikers and accounted for two goals all by himself.
Aurora Central now has a losing record at 3-4-1. As for Skyview, the victory got them back to even at 3-3-1.
Aurora Central beat Skyview 2-0 when the teams last played back in October of 2023. The rematch might be a little tougher for Aurora Central since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
