For the first time this season, Norrix will have a chance to prove themselves in a conference matchup. They will head out on the road to square off against the Lakeview Spartans at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. Norrix's offense has struggled lately (the team hasn't scored more than a single goal for four straight games), a trend the team is no doubt ready to end.
Norrix's defense heads into the matchup hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Tuesday. They narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past Mattawan 1-0. Norrix haven't had any issues with Mattawan recently, as the game was their third consecutive victory against them.
Meanwhile, for the first time this season, Lakeview was forced to settle for a draw. Neither they nor Central could gain the upper hand on Tuesday so the two teams had to settle for a 2-2 draw.
Norrix's win bumped their record up to 4-2-1. Lakeview's draw gives them a new season record of 5-2-1.
Everything went Norrix's way against Lakeview in their previous meeting back in September of 2024, as Norrix made off with a 4-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Knights since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
