The spring-break schedule might be lighter, but several boys soccer matches this week are worth monitoring:
-- Westminster (8-1-3, 3-0) is ranked No. 1 in Class 3A and will spend the week facing Class 4A No. 3 Marist and Class 7A No. 10 Parkview. The Wildcats are coming off a 10-1 victory against Class A Private No. 6 Whitefield Academy on Thursday. Westminster will host Marist on Tuesday and travels to Parkview on Friday.
-- Class A Private No. 1 Atlanta International (6-0-1, 2-0) faces two tough matches this week -- the Eagles host No. 8 Wesleyan (6-7-0) on Tuesday and will travel to No. 10 Mount Vernon (7-4-0) on Friday.
-- Class 2A No. 1 Lovett (10-1-1, 5-0) will travel to No. 9 Pace Academy (2-5) on Wednesday, trying to right the ship after a 2-1 loss to Class 5A No. 6 Woodward on Thursday. Woodward (10-2-1, 5-) will host Pace Academy on Thursday and play host to Class 6A No. 4 Rome (14-1-0) on Friday.
-- In Class 5A, then-No. 2 Starr’s Mill beat then-No. 1 McIntosh in 5-3 PK’s on the road Thursday to take over the top spot in the classification. The Panthers are ranked No. 4 in the MaxPreps national poll and are riding a 14-game winning streak into a matchup with No. 8 Veterans on Tuesday. McIntosh is ranked ninth nationally and will try rebound from its first loss of the season against Houston County on April 15.
