Soccer Preview: Hellgate Meets Gallatin

Hellgate has enjoyed the comforts of home their last three games, but now they'll head out on the road. They will square off against the Gallatin Raptors at 3:00 p.m. on Friday. Gallatin is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 2.9 goals per game this season.

Hellgate is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Montana's top teams: Sentinel, who was ranked second at the time (Hellgate was ranked seventh). The Knights took a 5-3 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Spartans on Thursday. Hellgate's defeat put an end to their six-game winning streak.

Meanwhile, it can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Gallatin had no problem doing just that on Tuesday. They had just enough and edged out the Panthers 1-0. The win was nothing new for Gallatin as they're now sitting on seven straight.
