The Haughton Buccaneers are taking a road trip to challenge the Airline Vikings at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. One thing working in Haughton's favor is that they have posted at least four goals in their last three matchups.
Haughton's defense heads into the contest hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Saturday. Everything went their way against Bossier as they made off with a 9-0 victory. Haughton might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four matches by five goals or more this season.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Airline, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Thursday. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Parkway on Monday, sneaking past 2-1.

Airline moved to 3-6 with that victory, which also ended their three-match losing streak. As for Haughton, their record now sits at 6-4-1.
Haughton took their win against Airline in their previous meeting back in November by a conclusive 5-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Buccaneers since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
