The Concord Minutemen will challenge the Northridge Raiders at 6:45 p.m. on Tuesday. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Concord is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Indiana's top teams: Carroll, who was ranked eighth in their home state at the time (Concord was ranked first). Concord fell just short of Carroll by a score of 1-0 on Saturday. It was the first time this season that the Minutemen let down their fans at home.
Meanwhile, for the first time since back in August, Northridge was forced to settle for a draw on Saturday. Neither they nor South Bend St. Joseph could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 1-1 draw.
Concord's defeat ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 6-2. Northridge's draw gives them a new season record of 5-3-2.
Concord came out on top in a nail-biter against Northridge in their previous meeting back in October of 2023, sneaking past 1-0. Will Concord repeat their success, or does Northridge have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
