The Iona Prep Gaels will venture away from home to square off against the Archbishop Stepinac Crusaders at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Iona Prep's offense might be in the hot seat on Saturday considering what happened against St. Francis Prep back in September. They fell just short of the Terriers by a score of 1-0. The Gaels have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Meanwhile, Archbishop Stepinac couldn't capitalize on their home-pitch advantage in their season opener. They took a 2-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of St. Francis Prep last Tuesday. The Crusaders have struggled against the Terriers recently, as their game last Tuesday was their fourth consecutive lost matchup.
Iona Prep beat Archbishop Stepinac 3-1 in their previous matchup back in October of 2021. The rematch might be a little tougher for Iona Prep since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
