Preview: Riverheads vs. James River

The Riverheads Gladiators will be playing in front of their home fans against the James River Knights at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Both teams come into the match bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

Riverheads had to kick off their season on the road on Tuesday, but they showed no ill effects. Their defense stepped up to hand Mountain View a 4-0 shutout.

Riverheads hit Mountain View with a four-pronged attack, as the team got scores from Taylor Grimm, Cate Schooley, Ella Arehart, and Jaden Wright.

Meanwhile, James River had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 3 goals), and they went ahead and made it three on Monday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 3-2 victory over Nelson County. Three seems to be a good number for James River as the team scooped up a win with the same number of goals in their previous game.

Riverheads took a 3-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of Riverheads in their previous matchup back in April of 2023. Will they have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more soccer content.
