Nathan Hale was handed a three-goal loss in their previous outing, but that didn't affect their clutch gene on Thursday. They had just enough and edged out Chief Sealth 1-0.

Meanwhile, Franklin didn't have quite enough to beat Cleveland on Tuesday and fell 3-2. The loss put an end to Franklin's undefeated start to the season.

Nathan Hale has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a massive bump to their 3-5 record this season.

Having lost for the first time this season, Franklin fell to 2-1-1.

Nathan Hale took their win against Franklin in their previous meeting back in October of 2024 by a conclusive 5-1 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Raiders since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
