The Johansen Vikings will wrap up 2025 with a road trip to face off against the Pitman Pride at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Johansen's defense has only allowed 0.3 goals per game this season, so Pitman's offense will have their work cut out for them.
Johansen's defense heads into the contest hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed last Thursday. They walked away with a 2-0 win over Ceres. The game was the first time Johansen have beaten Ceres on their pitch since December 4, 2021.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Pitman). Everything went their way against Buhach Colony last Friday as they made off with a 6-0 victory. Given Pitman's advantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 48th, while Buhach Colony are ranked 560th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
Pitman's offense was hitting Buhach Colony from everywhere, as five different players booted in a goal. Logan Watson led that balanced group of strikers and accounted for two goals all by himself.
Pitman's win bumped their record up to 7-0. As for Johansen, they are on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-1-2 record this season.
Johansen might still be hurting after the 6-1 loss they got from Pitman in their previous matchup back in November of 2024. Can the Vikings avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
