The Daniel Lions will venture away from home to challenge the Bishop England Battling Bishops at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday. Both come into the match bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Daniel proved they can win big last Thursday (they won by four) and on Thursday they proved they can win the close ones too. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Lucy Beckham, sneaking past 2-1. The win was all the more spectacular given the Lions' disadvantage in MaxPreps' South Carolina soccer rankings (they are ranked 33rd, while the Bengals are ranked fourth).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Bishop England). They put the hurt on Beaufort with a sharp 4-0 victory on Wednesday. The score was close at the half, but the Battling Bishops pulled away in the second half with three goals.
The win (which was Bishop England's third in a row) raised their record to 5-1. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only given up one goal over those three contests. As for Daniel, they have been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 5-3 record this season.
