Bartlett has gone 8-1-1 against Arlington recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Thursday. The Panthers will welcome the Tigers at 7:00 p.m. Bartlett's defense has only allowed 0.5 goals per game this season, so Arlington's offense will have their work cut out for them.

Bartlett is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Tennessee's top teams: Collierville, who was ranked 23rd at the time (Bartlett was ranked fourth). The Panthers' defense stepped up to hand the Dragons a 3-0 shutout on Thursday. The result was nothing new for Bartlett, who have now won seven contests by three goals or more so far this season.

Meanwhile, Arlington and Dyersburg finished up their matchup with a 2-2 draw on Friday.

Ben Myers and Keaton Eskew scored both of the Tigers' goals, bringing their combined season tally to 22 goals.

Bartlett pushed their record up to 12-0-2 with the win, which was their fourth straight on the road. The road victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only given up one goal over those four games. Arlington's draw makes their record 8-5-3 this season.

Bartlett took their win against Arlington in their previous matchup back in April of 2024 by a conclusive 4-1 score. Do the Panthers have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Tigers turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
