Chambers is hoping to do what West Charlotte couldn't on Wednesday: put an end to Hopewell's winning streak, which now stands at ten games. Hopewell never let West Charlotte onto the board and left with a 9-0 victory. Give the Titans' defense some credit: that's the team's sixth straight shutout.
Their offense was hitting West Charlotte from everywhere, as six different players booted in a goal.
Davis Reid led that balanced group of strikers and accounted for three goals all by himself.
Meanwhile, after failing to score in their last matchup, Chambers made sure to put some goals up on the board against Harding University on Wednesday. They blew past the Rams 8-0. Given the Cougars' advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina soccer rankings (they are ranked 218th, while the Rams are ranked 499th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Hopewell came out on top in a nail-biter against Chambers in their previous meeting back in September, sneaking past 2-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for Hopewell since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
