The Shaw Cardinals will be defending their home-field for the first time for the first time when they go up against the Erie Royals at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many points in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.

Meanwhile, Erie couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They took an 18-6 hit to the loss column at the hands of Cathedral Prep on Friday.
