The Reed-Custer Comets will venture away from home to square off against the Manteno Panthers at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. One thing working in Reed-Custer's favor is that they have posted at least four goals in their last four matches.
While Reed-Custer didn't have the best season last year (they finished 2-12-1), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past. Everything went their way against Plano on Monday as they made off with a 6-3 win. Aurora Haake was a massive factor in the win as she booted in three goals all by herself.
Meanwhile, Manteno has been on a difficult stretch since their win on the 3rd. They and Marian Catholic finished up on equal footing with a 5-5 draw on Tuesday. The high-scoring performance was a welcome turnaround for Manteno's offense, which had struggled in the games prior.
