After three games on the road, Eastern is heading back home. They will welcome the Reading Blue Devils at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Eastern is probably headed into the contest with a chip on their shoulder considering Lynchburg-Clay just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Monday. The two teams finished up on equal footing with a 2-2 draw. The result (or lack thereof) marked the Warriors' first draw of the season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Reading). Their defense stepped up to hand Lockland a 5-0 shutout on Thursday. The high-scoring effort was just what the Blue Devils needed considering they were shutout in their previous game.
