The Magnolia West Mustangs will venture away from home to square off against the Klein Oak Panthers at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Both teams beat their previous opponents by a single goal, so this matchup might be just as contested.
Magnolia West is headed into the match having not lost since February 7 and will look to keep things rolling. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 3-2 victory over Klein on Friday. Given the Mustangs' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 124th, while the Bearkats are ranked 322nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Magnolia West is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a massive bump to their 10-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 11 goals over those four contests. Klein Oak now has a winning record of 7-6.
Magnolia West took their win against Klein Oak in their previous meeting back in January by a conclusive 4-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for Magnolia West since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
