The Fort Meade Miners will head out on the road to take on the Lake Region Thunder at 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
Fort Meade took a loss when they played away from home last Monday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Wednesday. They skirted past Haines City 2-1. Eric Miranda had to tread lightly for part of the match after he was hit with a yellow card, but that was the only trouble the Miners got from the refs.
Miranda was the driving force of Fort Meade's attack as he scored both of Fort Meade's goals, bringing his season total up to two goals.
Meanwhile, Lake Region's undefeated season came to an end after three games on Friday. They and Auburndale finished up on equal footing with a 1-1 draw. The result (or lack thereof) marked the Thunder's first draw of the season.
Fort Meade's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-2. Lake Region's draw makes their record 3-0-1 this season.
Fort Meade beat Lake Region 3-1 when the teams last played back in November of 2023. The rematch might be a little tougher for Fort Meade since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
