Stagg is 8-1-1 against Andrew since September of 2016 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Thursday. The Chargers will venture away from home to square off against the Thunderbolts at 6:15 p.m. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
