The Baylor Red Raiders are taking a road trip to take on the Oak Ridge Wildcats at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Baylor is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another highly-ranked state team: Dalton, who was ranked first in their home state at the time (Baylor was ranked 15th). While the 2-2 score might suggest a draw, it was the Catamounts who were credited with the victory on Friday. Dalton got it done in the shootout by posting five goals to Baylor's four. The loss was Baylor's first of the season.
Oak Ridge is headed in fresh off scoring the most goals they have all season. They were the clear victors by an 8-1 margin over Campbell County on Tuesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Oak Ridge is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a massive bump to their 4-5-1 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 15 goals over those four contests. Having lost for the first time this season, Baylor fell to 3-1-1.
Baylor took their win against Oak Ridge when the teams last played back in March of 2024 by a conclusive 4-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Red Raiders since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
