Riverside is 8-2 against Spartanburg since April of 2015 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Thursday. Riverside will venture away from home to take on Spartanburg at 7:00 p.m. Spartanburg took a loss in their last contest and will be looking to turn the tables on Riverside, who comes in off a win.

Riverside's defense heads into the match hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Monday. They were the clear victors by a 6-0 margin over Gaffney. Considering Riverside have won three games by more than five goals this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

They hit Gaffney with a four-pronged attack, as the team got scores from Lily Ziemer (3), Charlotte Bozarth, Ashlyn Pillsbury, and Abbey Hensler.

Meanwhile, Spartanburg managed to keep up with James F. Byrnes until halftime on Thursday, but things quickly went downhill from there. Spartanburg came up short against James F. Byrnes, falling 4-1. Spartanburg haven't had much luck with James F. Byrnes recently, as the team has come up short the last six times they've met.

Riverside has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 4-2-1 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 22 goals over those five matches. Spartanburg's loss dropped their record down to 2-5.
