For the first time this season, Hope will have a chance to prove themselves in a conference matchup on Tuesday. A feisty cat fight will be fought as Hope take on Mena at 7:00 p.m. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, they and Mena will really light up the scoreboard.
If Hope beats Mena with seven goals on Tuesday, it's going to be the team's new lucky number: they've won their past two matches with that exact score. Hope was the clear victors by a 7-2 margin over Gurdon on Friday. With the Bobcats ahead 5-1 at the half, the contest was all but over already.
Meanwhile, for the first time this season, Mena was forced to settle for a draw. They and Cossatot River finished up on equal footing with a 5-5 draw on Thursday.
The victory made it two in a row for Hope and bumps their season record up to 2-1. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 14 goals over those two games. Mena's draw gives them a new season record of 1-0-1.
Hope skirted past Mena 4-3 when the teams last played back in April of 2024. Will Hope repeat their success, or does Mena have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
