The Newberry Panthers and the Lafayette Hornets will compete for holiday cheer at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. Newberry is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 6.1 goals per game this season.
Newberry is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Williston just ended the team's six-game winning streak on Friday. Both finished up on equal footing with a 3-3 draw. The result kept the Panthers happy, as they haven't lost a game since November 18th.
They hit Williston with a three-pronged attack, as the team got scores from Lucas Arnold, Maximus Dietz, and Dylan Mobbs.
Meanwhile, Lafayette sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 3-2 victory over Branford on Friday. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Hornets.
Lafayette has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 5-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 14 goals over those four matches. With that draw, Newberry's record moves to 7-2-1.
Everything went Newberry's way against Lafayette in their previous matchup back in December of 2023, as Newberry made off with a 7-1 win. Does Newberry have another victory up their sleeve, or will Lafayette turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
