The Akron Tigers will face off against the Newfane Panthers at 6:45 p.m. on Friday. Akron will be strutting in after a win while Newfane will be coming in after a loss.
Akron's defense heads into the contest hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Monday. Everything went their way against Cardinal O'Hara as Akron made off with a 13-0 victory. The high-scoring effort was just what the Tigers needed considering they were shutout in their previous matchup.
Meanwhile, Newfane had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They lost 4-0 to Medina last Tuesday. The defeat continues a trend for the Panthers in their matchups with the Mustangs: they've now lost six in a row.
Akron came out on top in a nail-biter against Newfane in their previous matchup back in September of 2023, sneaking past 1-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for Akron since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
