The Beverly Panthers will venture away from home to square off against the Gloucester Fishermen at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Beverly has four straight victories, Gloucester has seven straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the pitch.
Beverly had to skate by with only a one-goal margin when they last took the pitch, which might have inspired the six-goal drubbing they dealt Peabody Veterans Memorial on Wednesday. The Panthers blew past the Tanners 6-0. Beverly might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine contests by three goals or more this season.
Meanwhile, Gloucester fell victim to Winthrop and their airtight defense on Wednesday. They fell just short of the Vikings by a score of 1-0.
