For the first time this season, Front Range Christian will have a chance to prove themselves in a conference matchup. They are headed away from home for the first time to face off against the Union Colony Prep Timberwolves at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.
Front Range Christian is leaving town to face Union Colony Prep after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. The Falcons took a 29-18 hit to the loss column at the hands of Twin Peaks Classical Academy on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Union Colony Prep was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their seventh straight loss dating back to last season. They were a single point away from ending the streak, but they lost a 53-52 heartbreaker at the hands of Weldon Valley.
Front Range Christian will need to focus on slowing down Soliana Gebremeskel, one of several Union Colony Prep players who made an impact when they last played. She dropped a double-double with 23 points and 13 rebounds. Gebremeskel's big performance that evening made it nine games in a row in which she has scored at least 18 points. Another player making a difference was Jaelynn Valdez, who posted 15 points and eight steals.
Front Range Christian might still be hurting after the 55-34 defeat they got from Union Colony Prep in their previous matchup back in February. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Gebremeskel, who shot 50% from the field on her way to 45 points in addition to eight steals and five boards. Now that the Falcons know the damage she can cause, will they be able to stop her this time? There's only one way to find out.
