The Polytech Panthers will venture away from home to challenge the Milford Buccaneers at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.
As a matter of fact, Polytech put up the most goals they have all season two weeks ago. Their defense stepped up to hand First State Military Academy a 7-0 shutout. The win was nothing new for Polytech as they're now sitting on five straight.
Meanwhile, Milford had to endure an eight-game losing streak, but that streak is no more. They blew past Laurel 6-0 on Tuesday. The high-scoring performance was a welcome turnaround for Milford's offense, which had struggled in the games prior.
Polytech pushed their record up to 6-2 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 19 goals over those four matchups. As for Milford, their victory bumped their record up to 3-8.
Everything went Polytech's way against Milford when the teams last played back in April of 2024, as Polytech made off with a 7-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Panthers since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
