The Mead Panthers will square off against the Kamiakin Braves at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Mead's last four contests have been decided by no more than a goal, so don't be surprised if it's a close one.
Mead is headed into the matchup having not lost since September 9 and will look to keep things rolling. Neither they nor Lewis & Clark could gain the upper hand on Wednesday so the two teams had to settle for a 1-1 draw. The game got a bit rough at times, as the refs handed out a total of three yellow cards before it was all over: Mead's Claire Blackwell and Nora Cullen and Lewis & Clark's Jillian Flanigan were all carded.
Mead's goal came courtesy of Cullen, who's now up to four this season.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Kamiakin, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Tuesday. They never let Hermiston get on the board and left with a 6-0 victory on Thursday. The high-scoring effort was just what Kamiakin needed considering they were shut out in their previous match.
Kamiakin pushed their record up to 13-4 with the win, which was their third straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only given up zero goals over those three contests. Mead's draw makes their record 8-2-6 this season.
Mead skirted past Kamiakin 2-1 when the teams last played back in September. Will the Panthers repeat their success, or do the Braves have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
