The Great Bend Panthers will face off against the St. Mary's Academy Crusaders at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Great Bend couldn't capitalize on their home-pitch advantage in their season opener. They lost 6-0 to Liberal on Thursday. The defeat continues a trend for the Panthers in their matchups with the Redskins: they've now lost five in a row.
Meanwhile, St. Mary's Academy had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 5 goals), and they went ahead and made it three on Thursday. Their defense stepped up to hand the Spartans a 1-0 shutout. Give the Crusaders' defense some credit: that's the team's third straight shutout.
Their one-goal win came courtesy of
Rafael Morgali, who's now up to four this season.
