The Mariner Tritons will challenge the LaBelle Cowboys/Cowgirls at 7:30 p.m. on Monday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
LaBelle is hoping to do what Cape Coral couldn't on Friday: put an end to Mariner's winning streak, which now stands at nine games. Mariner's defense stepped up to hand Cape Coral an 8-0 shutout. Alessandro Gonzalez was a massive factor in the win as he booted in four goals all by himself.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for LaBelle, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Tuesday. They were the clear victor by a 7-1 margin over Cypress Lake on Friday. The high-scoring effort was just what the Cowboys/Cowgirls needed considering they were shutout in their previous game.
Mariner pushed their record up to 9-0 with the victory, which was their fifth straight at home. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 30 goals over those five matches. As for LaBelle, they are on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 5-3 record this season.
Mariner was able to grind out a solid win over LaBelle when the teams last played back in December of 2023, winning 2-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for Mariner since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
