Soccer Preview: First Flight vs. Norfolk Academy

Suggested Video

The First Flight Nighthawks will venture away from home to challenge the Norfolk Academy Bulldogs at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

Last Thursday, First Flight had just enough and edged Cardinal Gibbons out 3-2. That's two games straight that the Nighthawks have won by just one goal.

Wyatt Davies and Taylor Summerton scored all three of First Flight's goals, which were season-firsts for both players.

Meanwhile, Norfolk Academy faced Trinity Episcopal in a battle between two of the state's top teams on Tuesday. Norfolk Academy and Trinity Episcopal finished up their match with a 0-0 draw. The result (or lack thereof) marked the Bulldogs' first draw of the season.

The win made it two in a row for First Flight and bumps their season record up to 2-0. Norfolk Academy's draw gives them a new season record of 0-2-1.

First Flight skirted past Norfolk Academy 2-1 in their previous meeting back in August. The rematch might be a little tougher for First Flight since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
