Berkeley Prep and Cypress Creek are an even 4-4 against one another since March of 2020, but likely not for long. The Buccaneers will square off against the Coyotes at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. The two teams are strolling into their contests after big wins in their previous games.
While Buccaneers fans will have to keep waiting for their squad to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Wednesday's season opener. They blew past Shorecrest Prep 14-4 on Wednesday.
Hannah Cronin made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, tossing two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. The dominant performance also gave her a new career-high in strikeouts (three). She was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in all five of her plate appearances with three RBI, two runs, and two doubles.

Berkeley Prep skirted past Cypress Creek 3-2 in their previous matchup back in February of 2025. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Buccaneers since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
