The Bloomingdale Bulls will be staying on the road on Monday to face off against the Mitchell Mustangs at 8:00 p.m. The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.
Bloomingdale will roll into the game after a wild two-game stretch: they only put up one goal on Wednesday, then bounced right back against Lennard on Friday. Bloomingdale blew past Lennard 10-2. The matchup marked the Bulls' most dominant victory of the season so far.
Their offense was hitting Lennard from everywhere, as seven different players booted in a goal.
Jason Knipp led that balanced group of strikers and accounted for two goals all by himself.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Mitchell). Their defense stepped up to hand Durant an 8-0 shutout on Wednesday. The result was nothing new for the Mustangs, who have now won three contests by four goals or more so far this season.
Bloomingdale's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 4-1. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 16 goals over those three matches. As for Mitchell, the victory made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 3-0-1.
Bloomingdale was able to grind out a solid win over Mitchell in their previous meeting back in February, winning 3-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for Bloomingdale since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
