The Croatan Cougars are taking a road trip to face off against the First Flight Nighthawks at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Croatan had to skate by with only a one-goal margin when they last took the pitch, which might have inspired the four-goal drubbing they dealt Havelock on Thursday. The Cougars put the hurt on the Rams with a sharp 5-1 win. With Croatan ahead 3-0 at the half, the contest was all but over already.
They hit Havelock with a three-pronged attack, as the team got scores from Tyler Thorpe (2), Bennet Beaupre (2), and Spencer Lorencz.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask First Flight). Their defense stepped up to hand Martin County an 8-0 shutout on Monday. The result was nothing new for First Flight, who have now won three matchups by three goals or more so far this season.
The victory (which was Croatan's third in a row) raised their record to 3-9-2. Those wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 11 goals over those three matches. As for First Flight, their record now sits at 5-2-1.
