The Patton Panthers will head out on the road to face off against the Freedom Patriots at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Patton's defense has only allowed 0.5 goals per game this season, so Freedom's offense will have their work cut out for them.
Patton proved they can win big on Wednesday (they won by nine) and on Friday they proved they can win the close ones too. They had just enough and edged out West Iredell 2-1.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Freedom). They never let West Caldwell get on the board and left with a 9-0 victory on Tuesday. The high-flying offensive performance was a huge turnaround for Freedom considering their one-goal performance the match before.
The win was their first on the road, bumping their record up to 2-3-1. As for Patton, their record is now 4-0.
Patton got the 'W' in their previous matchup on Wednesday against Freedom by a conclusive 10-1 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Panthers since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
