Cox and Hickory are an even 3-3 against one another since May of 2016, but likely not for long. Cox will head out to challenge Hickory at 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.

Cox is headed into their contest with Hickory looking for a result a bit more satisfying than what they got in their season opener against Grassfield on Friday. Cox and Grassfield finished up their match with a 1-1 draw.

Hickory kicked off their season on the road on Thursday and hit a couple of potholes. They took a 2-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of First Colonial. The game was a 0-0 toss-up at halftime, but Hickory couldn't quite close it out.

Cox took their win against Hickory in their previous meeting back in May of 2024 by a conclusive 4-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for Cox since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
