The South Christian Sailors will head out to face off against the Union Red Hawks at 5:45 p.m. on Monday. South Christian's defense has only allowed 0.5 goals per game this season, so Union's offense will have their work cut out for them.
South Christian is headed into the matchup without a loss and will look to keep things rolling. They and Catholic Central finished up their game with a 0-0 draw on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Union had already won four in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 2.8 goals) and they went ahead and made it five on Wednesday. Their defense stepped up to hand Wolves an 8-0 shutout. Considering Union have won six contests by more than two goals this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
Union's win was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 8-3-1. The road victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 18 goals over those four matches. South Christian's draw gives them a new season record of 10-0-3.
South Christian took their win against Union when the teams last played back in April by a conclusive 7-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Sailors since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
