The Fairfield Prep Jesuits will take on the Hand Tigers at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Fairfield Prep's last three matchups have been decided by no more than a goal, so don't be surprised if it's a close one.
Fairfield Prep is headed into Thursday's contest following a draw, the team's first since September 24. They and Hamden finished up on equal footing with a 1-1 draw on Saturday.
Meanwhile, after low-scoring totals in their previous three match, Hand brought some dynamite into their most recent matchup. Their defense stepped up to hand Guilford a 7-0 shutout on Monday. Give Hand's defense some credit: that's the team's third straight shutout.
Hand has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-4-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only given up zero goals over those five matches. With that draw, Fairfield Prep's record moves to 8-4-5.
