The Delta Eagles will square off against the New Castle Trojans at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Delta is looking to tack on another W to their seven-game streak on the road.
Delta's defense heads into the match hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Thursday. They came out on top against Centerville by a score of 2-0. Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' Indiana soccer rankings (they are ranked 93rd, while the Bulldogs are ranked 209th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Jordan Bunch was the driving force of Delta's attack as she scored both of Delta's goals, bringing her season total up to 15 goals.
Meanwhile, after a string of three wins, New Castle's good fortune finally ran out on Thursday. Neither they nor Rushville could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 2-2 draw. The Trojans had to tread lightly for part of the contest as Chelsie Groce and Macie Morehouse were both handed yellow cards, which could explain the final result.
Delta is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 12 games, which provided a nice bump to their 12-4 record this season. New Castle's draw gives them a new season record of 5-10-1.
Everything went Delta's way against New Castle when the teams last played back in September, as Delta made off with a 3-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Delta since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
