Preview: Independence vs. Memorial

The Independence Knights will be playing at home against the Memorial Warriors at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Independence's offense has struggled lately (the team hasn't scored more than a single goal for four straight games), a trend the team is no doubt ready to end.

Independence fell victim to Liberty's stalwart defense on Friday and couldn't make it onto the board. Their tough 4-0 loss to the Redhawks might stick with them for a while.

Meanwhile, for the first time this season, Memorial was forced to settle for a draw. Neither they nor Walnut Grove could gain the upper hand on Tuesday so the two teams had to settle for a 1-1 draw.

Independence's loss was their third straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 1-10. Those losses could be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they only scored one goal over those three matchups. With that draw, Memorial's record moves to 4-6-1.
