The Blue Ridge Yellow Jackets will head out on the road to square off against the Snowflake Lobos at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Blue Ridge is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Arizona's top teams: Show Low, who was ranked 11th at the time (Blue Ridge was ranked 14th). Neither the Yellow Jackets nor the Cougars could gain the upper hand on Tuesday so the two teams had to settle for a 2-2 draw. Blue Ridge's loss signaled the end of their five-game winning streak.
Meanwhile, Snowflake came tearing into Tuesday's matchup with four straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 6.3 goals), and they left with even more momentum. They came within a single goal of losing the streak, but they secured a 5-4 W against the Redskins. Five seems to be a good number for Snowflake as the squad scooped up a victory with the same number of goals in their previous game.
Snowflake's win bumped their record up to 11-3. Blue Ridge's draw gives them a new season record of 8-3-1.
Blue Ridge took their victory against Snowflake in their previous matchup back in September by a conclusive 7-4 score. Will the Yellow Jackets repeat their success, or do the Lobos have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
