The Enka Jets will be playing at home against the Madison Patriots at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. Neither Enka nor Madison posted many goals in their last games, so it might be the defenses that decide this one.
Enka is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering Asheville just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Wednesday. They lost 5-1 to the Cougars. While losing is never fun, Enka can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina soccer rankings (they are ranked 198th, while Asheville is ranked 25th).
Meanwhile, Madison's last game on Tuesday was all defense as neither team scored a goal. They and Owen finished up their match with a 0-0 draw. The result (or lack thereof) was the first time Madison has been dealt a draw since back in April.
Enka's loss dropped their record down to 8-10-2. Madison's draw gives them a new season record of 14-1-2.
Everything went Enka's way against Madison in their previous matchup back in March of 2023 as Enka made off with a 4-0 win. Does Enka have another victory up their sleeve, or will Madison turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
