For the first time this season, Richland Center will have a chance to prove themselves in a conference matchup. They will head out to face off against the Galena Pirates at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Richland Center can't be too happy about their upcoming road contest considering what happened when they opened their season away from home on Tuesday. They came up short against Sparta, falling 5-1. The match was a 1-1 toss-up at halftime, but Richland Center couldn't quite close it out.
Meanwhile, Galena was not able to break out of their rough patch on Tuesday as the team picked up their third straight loss. They took a 2-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of Dodgeville. That's two games in a row now that Galena have lost by exactly two goals.
Richland Center might still be hurting after the 7-0 defeat they got from Galena in their previous meeting back in April of 2024. Can the Hornets avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
