The Leavitt Hornets are taking a road trip to take on the Waterville Panthers at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. Leavitt is coming into the matchup hot, having won their last four games.
Leavitt had to skate by with only a one-goal margin when they last took the pitch, which might have inspired the three-goal drubbing they dealt Winthrop on Thursday. The Hornets put the hurt on the Ramblers with a sharp 3-0 win. While Leavitt didn't have the best season last year (they finished 4-8-2), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
Meanwhile, Waterville came up short against Erskine Academy on Thursday and fell 3-1.
Waterville has also been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-5-1 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 14 goals over those five contests. As for Leavitt, their victory bumped their record up to 6-1.
Leavitt beat Waterville 3-1 in their previous meeting back in September. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Hornets since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
