The Blaine Borderites will venture away from home to challenge the Anacortes Seahawks at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.
Tuesday just wasn't the day for Blaine's offense. They fell just short of Mount Vernon by a score of 1-0 on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Anacortes was not able to break out of their rough patch on Tuesday as the team picked up their third straight defeat. They were a single goal away from ending the streak, but they lost a 3-2 heartbreaker at the hands of Lynden.
The loss was their first on the road , dropping their record down to 7-4-2. As for Blaine, they have been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-9 record this season.
Blaine came out on top in a nail-biter against Anacortes in their previous meeting back in March of 2024, sneaking past 2-1.
