Game preview: Freeman vs Northwest Christian School

The rivalry between Freeman and Northwest Christian School (NCS) has been one of the most exciting in this year’s soccer season. As of November 2024, Freeman has consistently shown dominance, with an undefeated season record of 19-0. Meanwhile, NCS, with an impressive 17-3-1 overall record, has been a formidable opponent but has struggled against Freeman in multiple encounters.

Season Recap:

Freeman’s perfect season record has been built on both offensive firepower and defensive resilience. They’ve scored 141 goals and conceded just 12, with a team scoring average of 7.4 goals per game. On the other hand, NCS has netted 105 goals while allowing 28, with a scoring average of 5.0 per game.

The two teams faced off several times throughout the season, with Freeman emerging victorious in each match. The most recent defeat for NCS came on November 9, 2024, when Freeman shut them out 4-0. Earlier, on September 24, Freeman won a close 4-3 away match, and on October 17, they triumphed again 2-1.

Head-to-Head Matchups:

Despite NCS’s strong performances in the league, Freeman’s defense, led by goalkeeper Claire Poulsen (who boasts an impressive goals-against average of just 0.508), has proven too much for them. In the three games they played, Freeman kept NCS from scoring more than a single goal in any match. NCS has struggled to break through Freeman’s solid defense and attacking prowess.

Statistical Leaders:

The standout player for NCS has been forward Rylee Russell, who has scored 62 goals this season. For Freeman, standout performances have come from Nora Gass with 22 assists and the aforementioned Poulsen in goal.

Common Opponents:

Both teams have faced a common set of opponents this season. Northwest Christian and Freeman both won handily against teams such as Upper Columbia Academy, Kettle Falls, and Davenport, often with dominant scorelines, though Freeman’s margins of victory have been even larger.

Looking Ahead: Playoff Matchup

After a hard-fought regular season, the teams will meet again in a neutral site playoff match. The stakes are high for NCS, as they look to overcome Freeman’s perfect record and make a push toward the title. Freeman’s defense and offensive power will be key to maintaining their unbeaten streak.

Conclusion:

Freeman has asserted itself as the team to beat in this region, and their upcoming playoff match against NCS will be a test of whether NCS can rise to the challenge. With their undefeated record and high goal-scoring averages, Freeman remains the favorite to win, but NCS will look to pull off an upset and turn their strong season into a championship run.
