Soccer Game Preview: Hickory Christian Academy vs. Alexander Central

The Hickory Christian Academy Knights will look to take advantage of their home pitch for the first time this season as they take on the Alexander Central Cougars at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.

Hickory Christian Academy is coming home looking for redemption after taking a loss in their road opener. They fell just short of Gaston Day by a score of 2-1 last Tuesday. The contest was a 1-1 toss-up at halftime, but the Knights couldn't quite close it out.

Their goal came courtesy of Peyton McLelland.

Meanwhile, Alexander Central has been struggling as of late, and they have yet to win a game this season. They and Davie finished up their match with a 0-0 draw on Friday.
