Soccer Preview: StoneBridge vs. Norfolk Christian

The StoneBridge Cavaliers will head out on the road to face off against the Norfolk Christian Ambassadors at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Hopefully StoneBridge is not getting complacent considering they own a much higher rank in Virginia (they are ranked 99th, while Norfolk Christian is ranked 243rd).

StoneBridge is likely headed into the matchup with a focus on the second half, which is when things went downhill against Atlantic Shores Christian on Tuesday. StoneBridge lost 5-2 to Atlantic Shores Christian. It was the first time this season that StoneBridge let down their fans at home.

Meanwhile, for the first time since back in March, Norfolk Christian was forced to settle for a draw on Tuesday. Neither they nor Peninsula Catholic could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 2-2 draw.

Caroline Bishard was the only thing that stood between Norfolk Christian and a shutout considering she scored both of Norfolk Christian's goals, her season total up to nine goals.

StoneBridge's loss ended a four-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 6-2-1. With that draw, Norfolk Christian's record moves to 3-11-2.

StoneBridge might still be hurting after the 7-0 defeat they got from Norfolk Christian in their previous matchup back in April of 2022. Can StoneBridge avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
