The Anderson Cubs and the Lassen Grizzlies will meet on Thursday for a tough Bear Battle.
Having struggled with five losses in a row, Anderson turned things around against West Valley on Tuesday. The two teams finished up on equal footing with a 2-2 draw. The result was nothing new for the Cubs as the squad haven't won a game since December 9, 2024.
Manuel Gallardo and Ameer Mulla scored both of Anderson's goals, bringing their combined season tally to 11 goals.
Meanwhile, Lassen hadn't done well against Yreka recently (they were 0-8-1 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Tuesday. Lassen won by a goal and slipped past Yreka 2-1. The score was all tied up 1-1 at the break, but the Grizzlies were the better team in the second half.
Lassen is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games, which provided a massive bump to their 4-5 record this season. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 12 goals over those four matches. With that draw, Anderson's record moves to 4-7-2.
Everything went Anderson's way against Lassen when the teams last played back in February of 2024, as Anderson made off with a 4-1 victory. Will Anderson repeat their success, or does Lassen have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
