Soccer Game Preview: Croatan vs. Hunt

The Croatan Cougars will head out on the road to square off against the Hunt Warriors at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. Both come into the match bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

Croatan's defense heads into the contest hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Tuesday. They walked away with a 2-0 win over Clinton. The Cougars' winning goal came courtesy of Ava Kight.

Meanwhile, Hunt hasn't lost a match since March 7th, a trend which continued in their latest game on Tuesday. Everything went their way against Southern Wayne as Hunt made off with a 10-0 victory. Considering the Warriors have won four games by more than eight goals this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Hunt has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won four of their last five matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 5-2-2 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only given up two goals over those five contests. Croatan's record now sits at 3-1-2.

Croatan might still be hurting after the 4-0 defeat they got from Hunt in their previous meeting back in May of 2024. Can Croatan avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
